The construction of a submarine electric cable between Portugal and Morocco is being considered as a possibility, but its realization depends on external funding. The project will not move forward without support from private investors or the European Union.
The guarantee was given by the Environment Minister, who recognized the importance of this infrastructure for the energy interconnection between the two countries. The submarine cable would make it possible to strengthen the energy exchange capacity between Portugal and Morocco.
The article does not specify investment values or timelines for the eventual implementation of the project. The need for external financing reflects the financial difficulties of the governments of both countries to take on this type of large-scale infrastructure.
