Morocco Aims to Double Electricity Capacity by 2030 World Cup
Morocco plans to more than double its power generation capacity by 2030, when it co-hosts the FIFA World Cup, Energy Transition Minister Leila Benali said.
Renewable sources will make up 80% of the increase to 27 gigawatts, from 12 gigawatts now, Benali told a chemical industry forum in the capital Rabat on Wednesday. The expansion, including public and private investment, will cost a total 120 billion dirhams ($13 billion), she said.
