Portugal is seeking international electricity interconnection alternatives that can serve as an emergency solution, given the risk of energy deficit from 2028. In this context, Morocco emerges as one of the options under consideration by the country.
This issue is particularly important for Portugal because, currently, the country only has international electricity interconnection through Spain. This dependence on a single connection route poses challenges in terms of energy security and supply flexibility.
The risk of energy deficit from 2028 drives the search for new interconnections that would allow Portugal to diversify its electricity import sources and reduce the vulnerability associated with exclusive dependence on Spain.
