Energy transition: Desert electricity for Germany: Morocco supports mega-project Sila Atlantik
The initiators want to bring large amounts of electricity to Germany. The Federal government supports the plan, now Morocco is also signaling its approval. What's next for the project.
Marocco's government has expressed support for the "Sila Atlantik" project, a plan to bring large amounts of renewable energy from Marocco to Germany via an undersea cable. The project aims to generate up to 26 terawatt-hours of electricity per year, which is equivalent to around 5% of Germany's current electricity consumption. Germany's Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs is open to the project, which could help reduce Europe's dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to energy security.
The project's initiators, including Roman Dudenhausen, say they are encouraged by Marocco's support and plan to raise 250-300 million euros in initial funding next year.
