Wind Power Plants in occupied territories of Western Sahara

A report published by the Western Sahara Resource Watch (2016) details that today''s renewable energy production in Western Sahara constitutes around 7% of Morocco''s total energy production from such sources. By 2020, this amount could be increased to 26.4 percent.

Morocco: Another renewable energy project in Western Sahara

The initial stages of another renewable energy project has been launched in the disputed Western Sahara region, which is under the control of Morocco. The Janassim project recently launched its measuring campaign of solar and wind energy potential.

Xlinks Morocco–UK Power Project

The Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project is a proposal to create 11.5 GW of renewable generation, 22.5 GWh of battery storage and a 3.6 GW high-voltage direct current interconnector to carry solar and wind-generated electricity from Morocco to the United Kingdom.
