Amara calls for integration of electricity grids

During the meeting, Amara stressed that Morocco is sparing no effort to meet the major challenges of the future, namely, to secure water and energy supplies and to preserve the environment.
And on this last point, the minister pointed out that Morocco is not a polluter and that it is time that polluting countries give “strong signs” by taking concrete actions for the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) and fight against global warming.
“We need to be aware of the importance of committing ourselves to the planet,” Amara said, calling on the EU to spare no effort to make this awareness real.
The minister also stressed Morocco’s efforts in water management, particularly through the promotion of renewable energies.
“The opportunity of renewable energies gives a lot of hope in terms of water management,” he said.
He added that renewable energies enhance landlocked areas by providing them with infrastructure and creating employment.
Mr Amara called for strengthening EU support for the development of green energy and “removing obstacles to the free movement of the green electron through networks via their integration”.
The ambassador of the EU in Morocco welcomed the bilateral cooperation reiterating the commitment, to continue his support to Morocco in various sectors including renewable energies, mainly solar.
