Morocco, Dakhla: Morocco aims to launch its largest solar and wind power project in the Western Sahara Desert to supply electricity to Casablanca through an electricity network spanning almost 1400 kilometres. The project is based in Dakhla in the disputed territory and is expected to be launched in January 2025, according to a statement by the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE).
Sabah Agadir newspaper and other publications quoted the Bureau as saying that the project includes the construction of “huge renewable energy stations” to supply electricity to the Western Casablanca city on the Atlantic Ocean. Power supplies will be transferred to Morocco’s largest city through high-voltage power lines, involving the longest electricity transmission and distribution routes in Morocco. The aim of the project is to exploit solar energy and strong winds in the Dakhla region.
