Portugal is considering an electricity interconnection with Morocco as part of a EUR 400 million initiative to strengthen the resilience of its national grid.
The plan was unveiled by the Portuguese government which outlines 31 measures to prevent large-scale outages. The event highlighted Portugal’s dependence on Spain’s grid and the need for diversified connections. The Ministry of Environment noted that the country may join one of the existing cross-border interconnections in the region to avoid the higher costs of greenfield development.
