Morocco leads Maghreb energy transition

11 July 2023

> Morocco extends Casablanca water PPP deadline
> US firm plans 2MW Morocco hydrogen project
> China's Tinci plans $280m Morocco lithium-ion plant
> Xlinks to seek construction partners
> Morocco signs $6.4bn electric battery and storage deal
> Morocco tenders 900MW power plant contract

 

Morocco is among the list of Maghreb countries that have seen few deals awarded in the power generation sector over the past 12 to 24 months.

The last contract awards it recorded were in April 2022 for the 333MW first phase of the Noor 2 solar photovoltaic (PV) project.

The Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) and Morocco’s Energy Transition & Sustainable Development Ministry awarded six packages of this tranche to three independent power producer (IPP) developers: Voltalia Maroc, Enel Green Power Morocco and the UAE-based Amea Power.

Xlinks scheme

The country, however, could emerge from the doldrums with key projects such as the $18bn Xlinks on the horizon, enabling it to hold on to its status as the regional leader in renewable energy.

The Morocco-UK power project entails building 10,500MW solar and wind farms in Morocco’s Guelmim-Oued Noun region and sending 3,600MW a day of energy exclusively to the UK via four 3,800-kilometre high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) cables.

MEED understands the first phase of the surveys for the project is complete, with geophysical and geotechnical surveys expected to finish this year and next year.

The HVDC pipeline will pass through Spain, Portugal and France, where permitting processes are being undertaken. Financing sources could include export credit agencies, multilateral development agencies and commercial or investment banks.

Morocco aims to source up to 52 per cent of its energy – up from the current 32 per cent – from renewable sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45.5 per cent by 2030 

Earlier this year, Xlinks completed an early development funding round that included a $30.7m investment from Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa) and $6.23m from London-headquartered Octopus Energy Group.  

The UK-based startup is expected to seek interest from original equipment manufacturers and construction partners soon. This will be followed by seeking interest from financial advisers for the project.

Low-carbon molecules

Morocco aims to source up to 52 per cent of its energy – up from the current 32 per cent – from renewable sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45.5 per cent by 2030.

Thanks to the country’s strategic location and favourable legislative framework, this ambition is drawing investors focused on green hydrogen and derivatives production.

In April, a team led by China Energy International Construction Group signed a memorandum of cooperation to develop a green hydrogen project in a coastal area in southern Morocco.

The planned project involves constructing an integrated green hydrogen-based ammonia production facility. It will require a solar PV power generation plant with a capacity of 2GW and a wind power plant with a capacity of 4GW.

These plants will supply power to an electrolysis plant that can produce 320,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, which will then be processed to produce 1.4 million tonnes of green ammonia annually.

Energy China International Construction Group has partnered with Saudi Arabia’s Ajlan & Brothers Company and the local firm Gaia Energy Company for the project.

Amun project

It is the second high-profile green hydrogen project announced for the North African country since April 2022, when Serbia-headquartered renewables developer and investor CWP Global appointed US firm Bechtel to support developing large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia facilities in the country.

The Amun green hydrogen project, which CWP Global plans to develop in Morocco, is understood to require 15GW of renewable energy and has an estimated budget of between $18bn and $20bn.

Along with these projects – which could take several years to implement – several green hydrogen pilot projects are also under way in Morocco.

Africa-focused transitional energy group Chariot, the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University and UK-based hydrogen electrolyser developer Oort Energy are planning several small projects using a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser system patented by Oort.

The three parties will run initial proof of concept projects while evaluating the feasibility of implementing large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production.

One of the pilot projects is intended to be hosted at the research and development unit at state-owned fertiliser producer OCP Group’s facilities in Jorf Lasfar.

US-headquartered Verde Hydrogen also plans to develop and commission a 2MW green hydrogen electrolyser plant project in Morocco, which it expects to complete next year.

Electric vehicle components

Recent developments also point to Morocco potentially becoming a global hotspot for the electric vehicles supply chain.

In July this year, China’s Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology announced plans to build a lithium-ion battery materials plant in the country. The project capitalises on Morocco’s ample phosphorite ore resources.

The firm’s Singapore unit is expected to invest as much as $280m to set up a project company in the North African country to produce lithium-ion battery materials that can be exported to Europe.

In late May, the Moroccan government and Chinese-European company Gotion High-Tech also signed a preliminary agreement to establish a factory to produce electric car batteries and energy storage systems in the country.

The project is estimated to cost MD65bn ($6.3bn). The planned facility will have the potential to “create a comprehensive battery production solution” with a capacity of 100GW a year. 

Morocco’s minister-delegate in charge of investment, convergence and evaluation of public policies, Mohcine Jazouli, said the factory “will not only contribute to Morocco’s renewable energy and electric transport sector, but also solidify its reputation as an automotive industry powerhouse”.

Traditional energy

Meanwhile, along with its intense drive towards clean energy, Rabat is also making progress on traditional energy projects. The National Office of Electricity & Drinking Water (Onee) last awarded a thermal power plant deal in 2017. So it was a surprise when Onee recently tendered a five-year contract to build and operate an open-cycle 900MW thermal power plant in the country.

To be located along the M18 station point of the Maghreb-to-Europe gas pipeline, the proposed power generation plant will use dual-fuel gas turbines, with diesel fuel as a backup. Onee expects to receive bids for the contract by 5 September.

In addition, the procurement process is under way for a major seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant in Grand Casablanca, which has a design capacity of 548,000 cubic metres a day.

The build-operate-transfer contract is for 30 years, including a three-year construction period and 27 years of operation and management.

Making amends

To its credit, however, Morocco’s sustainable campaign has extended to other sectors that have traditionally used carbon-intensive processes and technologies.

The Washington-based International Finance Corporation (IFC) and OCP Group recently signed a €100m ($111m) green loan to build four solar plants to power OCP’s Morocco operations.

The four solar plants, with a combined capacity of 202MW, will be located in the mining towns of Benguerir and Khouribga, home to Morocco’s largest phosphate reserves.

As captive power plants, they will supply clean energy directly to OCP’s operations. The project is part of OCP’s $13bn green investment programme, which aims to increase its green fertiliser production and transition its operations to green energy by 2030.

Libya and Tunisia

Earlier this year, the state-owned General Electricity Company of Libya (Gecol) awarded a joint venture of Qatar-based construction company Urbacon for Trading & Contracting and Egypt’s ElSewedy Electric an engineering, procurement and construction contract for a 1,044MW gas-fired power plant in Libya.

The contract is valued at €1.19bn ($1.29bn). The project is expected to be completed in 26 months and comprises six gas turbines from Germany’s Siemens Energy. The emergency power plant project is located in Zliten.

The power plant is expected to help address the endemic electricity shortage in the country. However, it does little to reduce Libya’s carbon emissions. At under 10MW, the country has the lowest renewable energy installed capacity in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, against a total capacity of 11,000MW as of 2021, according to International Renewable Energy Agency data.

Tunisia, where renewable sources account for at least 8 per cent of its power generation capacity, has also made minor progress over the past few months.

A team of Spain’s Acciona and Saudi investment group Swicorp have partnered to develop a 75MW wind farm in Chenini in Tunisia’s Tataouine governorate.

The Spanish-Saudi team is understood to have agreed to the technical and financial terms of the project, as well as the land lease for installing 14 wind turbines in Djebel Dahar, located 80 kilometres from Djerba.

Each wind turbine will have a capacity of 6MW. The project will require an estimated investment of TD500m ($164m).

Tunisia’s wind potential is estimated at 8,000MW, according to its wind atlas and a study published in 2021 by the German international cooperation agency Giz.

In January this year, the African Development Bank Group approved a $27m and €10m ($10.67m) loan package to co-finance the construction of a 100MW solar power plant in Kairouan, Tunisia.

The approval covers $10m and another €10m from the bank, and a $17m concessional financing from the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa, a special multi-donor fund managed by the bank.

Additional financing will come from the IFC, the World Bank Group and the Clean Technology Fund (CTF).

The 100MW Kairouan project was part of the first round of solar schemes under Tunisia’s concession regime, launched through an international tender by the Ministry of Industry, SMEs & Cooperatives in 2018.

A consortium formed by Dubai-headquartered Amea Power and TBEA Xinjiang New Energy Company won the contract to develop the scheme in December 2019.

The project is located in El-Metbassta, in the Kairouan North region, about 150km south of the capital, Tunis.

Algeria

Despite a highly tentative approach to adopting low-carbon energy, there are some promising projects in Algeria.

In March, state-owned utility Sonelgaz invited companies to bid for the contract to build 15 solar plants in the country with a combined capacity of 2,000MW.

The solar projects will be built in 11 locations across the North African state.

The locations and capacities of the proposed solar power plants include:

  • Bechar (Abadla): 80MW
  • Bechar (Kenadsa): 120MW
  • Msila (Batmete): 220MW
  • Bordj Bou Arreridj (Ras al-Oued): 80MW
  • Batna (Merouana): 80MW
  • Laghouat: 200MW
  • Ghardaia (Guerrara): 80MW
  • Tiaret (Frenda): 80MW
  • El-Oued (Nakhla): 200MW
  • El-Oued (Taleb Larbi): 80MW
  • Touggort: 130MW
  • Mghaier: 220MW
  • Biskra (Leghrous): 200MW
  • Biskra (Tolga): 80MW
  • Biskra (Khenguet Sidi Nadji): 150MW

In December 2022, Algeria’s Energy Transition & Renewable Energies Ministry (Shaems) also launched a tender to deploy 1,000MW of solar capacity. However, the status of the tender is unclear as of mid-2023.

  • Iraq LNG project delayed until next year

    13 May 2026

    Register for MEED’s 14-day trial access 

    Iraq’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, which has an estimated project value of $450m, is now expected to become operational in 2027 due to delays caused by the regional war and disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

    Work on jetty reinforcement and fixed terminal infrastructure at the Port of Khor Al-Zubair has been delayed, according to a statement from US-based Excelerate Energy, which is contracted to develop the facility.

    In its statement, the company said: “We are revising our full-year guidance to reflect the delayed startup of our Iraq terminal due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.”

    It added: “The Iraq project fundamentals remain unchanged. Looking ahead, we continue to have confidence in our sequenced earnings growth through 2028.”

    In October 2025, Excelerate signed a definitive commercial agreement with a subsidiary of Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity for the development of the country’s first LNG import terminal.

    The integrated project includes a five-year agreement for regasification services and LNG supply, with extension options, and a minimum contracted offtake of 250 million standard cubic feet a day (cf/d).

    Excelerate said: “Jetty reinforcement and construction of the fixed terminal infrastructure have been delayed temporarily due to the conflict in the Middle East and the terminal is no longer expected to commence operations in the third quarter of 2026 as previously disclosed.

    “Project startup is now expected in 2027. The long-term fundamentals supporting the project remain unchanged, driven by chronic power shortages and limited domestic gas processing capacity in Iraq.

    “Current conditions further reinforce the country’s need for reliable and scalable LNG import infrastructure and construction will resume as conditions allow.”

    Earlier this year, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity said that the terminal was on track to come online on 1 June, ahead of expected gas shortages during the summer months.

    Then, in late April, the ministry said the project had been delayed by several months and was expected to come online in August at the earliest.

    Although Iraq is Opec’s second-largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia, it is a net natural gas importer because its lack of infrastructure investment has meant that, until 2023, it flared roughly half of the estimated 3.12 billion cf/d of gas produced in association with crude oil.

    Iraq’s reliance on flaring associated gas instead of gathering and processing it has prevented the country from fully realising its potential as a gas producer and forced the Iraqi government to rely on costly gas and electricity imports from Iran.

  • Algeria turns the GCC oil crisis into an economic opportunity

    13 May 2026

    Commentary
    Wil Crisp
    Oil & gas reporter

    Algeria’s state-owned oil and gas company, Sonatrach, is taking advantage of concerns about global gas and crude supplies to sign deals and push ahead with major upstream projects.

    In recent weeks, the country has launched an oil and gas licensing round, taken steps to boost crude production in the short term and awarded a $1.1bn oil and gas field development project.

    This comes as shipping remains disrupted through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil and gas supply route. The disruption began after the US and Israel attacked Iran on 28 February 2026, triggering a regional war.

    Algeria’s ramp-up in activity puts it in a stronger position to benefit from higher global energy prices than neighbouring Libya, despite Libya holding Africa’s largest proven oil reserves.

    Libya challenges

    In Libya, officials have sought to advance oil and gas projects, but the business environment remains challenging due to recurring violence and deep political divisions.

    Last month, Libya’s rival legislative bodies approved a unified state budget for the first time in more than 13 years. The Central Bank of Libya confirmed on 11 April that both chambers had endorsed the budget, calling it a key step towards restoring financial stability after prolonged division.

    Contractors expected the agreement to accelerate project activity, but so far the deal has yet to translate into meaningful progress on the ground. Earlier this month, MEED reported that Libya’s state-owned National Oil Corporation (NOC) had not yet provided subsidiaries with details of their funding allocations under the new budget.

    Libya’s downstream sector was also disrupted this month by a fresh outbreak of violence. On 8 May, military clashes damaged buildings and vehicles, and forced the country’s largest operating refinery and a nearby oil port to shut for two days. On 10 May, Azzawiya Oil Refining Company, operator of the Zawiya facility, said it had lifted the state of emergency, allowing work to resume.

    Algeria momentum

    While Libya has struggled to capitalise on the current period of higher oil and gas prices, Algeria has significantly increased activity across its hydrocarbons sector.

    Last month, Algeria launched a new bid round offering seven exploration blocks to international companies. The round was launched by the National Agency for the Valorisation of Hydrocarbon Resources (Alnaft), which regulates the upstream sector. The blocks are located in Ouargla, Illizi, Touggourt and El-Bayadh.

    In parallel, Algeria is implementing short-term measures to raise output. On 3 May, the Ministry of Oil & Gas said the country plans to increase average production by 6,000 barrels a day in June.

    Algeria is also pursuing regional export opportunities. Earlier this month, officials signed a framework agreement to enable crude supplies from Algeria to Egypt.

    Turkiye has also announced plans to renew and expand its liquefied natural gas (LNG) agreement with Algeria. Turkiye’s Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said on 8 May that annual volumes could rise to 6.5 billion cubic metres, up from the current 4.4 billion cubic metres a year. The existing agreement is due to expire in September 2027.

    Another sign of momentum is the award of a $1.1bn contract for phase two of the Hassi Bir Rekaiz oil and gas field development. The contract was signed by Egypt’s Petrojet and Italian engineering and contracting company Arkad. Petrojet’s share is estimated at about $600m and Arkad’s at about $500m. The client is Groupement HBR, a joint venture of Sonatrach and Thailand’s PTTEP.

    Overall, while Libya continues to face obstacles to building sustained momentum in its oil and gas sector, Algeria is pursuing multiple initiatives that are likely to deliver economic benefits in the short, medium and long term.

  • Momentum builds in Iraq’s post-war construction sector

    12 May 2026

     

    In October last year, Iraq awarded an estimated $764m contract to develop Baghdad International airport on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis to a consortium comprising Luxembourg-based Corporacion America Airports and local firm Amwaj International.

    The move is the latest sign of international investors’ growing appetite for projects in Iraq as part of the country’s post-war reconstruction drive.

    Iraq has been recovering gradually since the war. Initially, the government prioritised infrastructure and public housing to stimulate economic growth, improve living standards and attract foreign investment.

    More recently, benefiting from higher oil prices and a period of relatively stable governance, Baghdad has expanded its focus to reconstructing and modernising the country’s deteriorating infrastructure.

    Looking ahead, Iraq’s construction industry is expected to register an average annual growth rate of 4.8% between 2025 and 2028, supported by further investment in energy, infrastructure and housing projects, according to UK analytics firm GlobalData.

    Real estate projects

    Iraq plans to develop more than 21 residential cities across the country. According to local media reports published in May, Iraq’s Ministry of Construction & Housing said the projects are being developed in co-operation with private real estate developers.

    The report added that the residential cities are located in Baghdad, Mosul, Karbala, Babylon, Basra, Najaf, Dhi Qar, Maysan and Wasit.

    Another major announcement came in October last year, when UAE-based developer Damac Properties launched the Damac Hills Baghdad masterplanned community, its first real estate project in Iraq.

    Damac Hills Baghdad forms part of a larger development spanning 6.2 million square metres (sq m). The community is located near Abbas Ibn Firnas Square, close to Baghdad International airport.

    The project is in line with the Iraq National Investment Commission’s drive to attract greater foreign investment into the country.

    The latest foreign investment-backed scheme follows Egyptian real estate developer Ora Developers beginning construction last year on the Al-Wardi residential city project. The development will include more than 100,000 residential units covering about 61 million sq m on the southeastern side of Baghdad.

    Last year, another Egyptian firm, Talaat Moustafa Group Holding, said it was in negotiations with the National Investment Commission to develop a mixed-use project. Covering an area of about 14 million sq m and located southwest of Baghdad, the project is expected to include about 45,000 residential units.

    In 2024, Abu Dhabi-based developer Eagle Hills announced that it had secured land for a $1.5bn project in Baghdad that will include a golf course, residential components, a five-star hotel, a spa and a resort club.

    These projects continue the trend of renewed confidence among international investors in Iraq’s construction sector.

    Transport schemes

    In addition to the Baghdad International airport PPP award, Iraq has recently accelerated plans to develop the country’s wider infrastructure network.

    Earlier this year, Iraq announced that it would redesign the long-delayed Baghdad Metro project in a bid to reduce capital expenditure on the project.

    According to media reports, earlier proposals relied heavily on underground construction, making the project economically unviable.

    Last year, Iraq’s Ministry of Transport announced plans to build the Basra-Shalamcheh railway project, a 36-kilometre cross-border rail link connecting Iraq and Iran.

    In the ports sector, Iraq’s Aloreen Company for Investments secured up to $120m in financing in March from the International Finance Corporation, part of the World Bank Group, to expand the container-dedicated Terminal 2 at Umm Qasr Port in southern Iraq.

    Located about 70km south of Basra, Umm Qasr Port is Iraq’s main maritime gateway and its only deep-water port, handling most of the country’s containerised and general cargo.

    In October, Iraq said it would select three firms from an 11-company shortlist to manage and operate Al-Faw Grand Port, located in the southern city of Basra.

    The first phase of the project is scheduled for completion by the end of this year, while the second phase is expected to be completed by 2029.

    Projects pipeline

    Iraq has about $96bn-worth of projects in the planning and pre-execution stages across its construction and transport sectors.

    The construction sector accounts for about $69bn of this pipeline, while the transport sector has projects valued at around $17bn.

    The short-term outlook for both sectors remains positive, with the government committed to economic revitalisation through infrastructure projects.

    These initiatives are expected to attract investors, create local employment opportunities and generate significant revenues. At the same time, securing funding for major metro and airport developments will be important in maintaining investor confidence.

    Further investment, together with continued political stability and clearer regulatory frameworks, will be vital if the government is to achieve its goals, sustain the country’s recovery and support long-term economic expansion.
