Spain-Morocco interconnection
Spain-Morocco interconnection is a submarine power cable between Tarifa terminal in Spain and Fardioua terminal in Morocco. The purpose of the cable is to connect energy infrastructure between Europe and Africa.[1][2] The Spain-Morocco interconnection includes two 400 kV lines, commissioned in 1997 and 2006 that have a combined power of 1,400 MW and consisting of seven cables: three for each circuit, plus one for reserve.[3] The capacity dedicated for commercial use is equal to 900 MW in the Spain to Morocco direction, and equal to 600 MW in the Morocco to Spain direction.[4] ExpansionThe two countries are planning to extend the network building a third 400-kV link with a 700 MW capacity. The cost of the project is expected to be $169 million, shared equally between Spain and Morocco.[1][5] See alsoReferences
