Morocco plans to construct a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on its Mediterranean coast, alongside a network of pipelines designed to bolster the nation's energy infrastructure and international trade.
Leila Benali, Morocco’s Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, informed parliament that the new pipelines would connect the upcoming LNG terminal in Nador City directly to an existing pipeline that links Morocco to Spain.
Benali noted that this strategic link will also serve key industrial centres in Mohammedia and Kenitra.
The Energy Transition and Sustainable Development Ministry has already issued a call for expressions of interest for the terminal project, with a deadline of July 23 for companies to submit proposals.
This ambitious pipeline network is expected to enhance Morocco's standing in the global energy market, particularly through its connection to the Morocco-Europe pipeline, which could facilitate increased energy trade with Europe.
Morocco’s planned LNG terminal project and pipeline network align with its broader goals of energy diversification and sustainable development, positioning the country to meet future energy demands more efficiently.
The substantial investment highlights Morocco's forward-looking vision to not only address its domestic energy requirements but also to capitalize on international markets.
While the broader impact on the Middle East's energy landscape remains to be seen, Morocco’s strategic pivot towards LNG terminal connected to pipelines could serve as a precedent for other nations in the region exploring new energy sources and sustainable growth within an evolving global energy framework.
