US official: Morocco could export renewable energy
2008-03-06
Morocco has the potential to develop and exploit its renewable energy sources, MAP quoted US Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Alexander Karsner as saying on Tuesday (March 5th) at a workshop organised by the Moroccan embassy in Washington. According to Karsner, Morocco could develop wind, hydro, thermal and solar energies to become a leading player in the sector. He added that if Morocco invests in renewable energies, the country could reap huge economic benefits by exporting electricity to neighbouring countries and to Europe. Moroccan Energy Minister Amina Benkhadra stressed that Morocco is eager to make profitable use of its natural assets and invited US investors to visit the country.
