Gas to power"
The road map for natural gas Development "gas to Power", set up in 2004, is lagging behind. As a reminder, this ambitious plan aims at the realization of a gas terminal to contribute to the importation of the needs of Morocco which are estimated to be about 5 billion cubic meters per year. In a first phase, the priority will be to supply power to power plants with a quantity of approximately 3.5 billion cubic metres per year. The second phase will be to provide certain industries with their estimated natural gas requirements of approximately 1.5 billion cubic metres per year. The overall investment is estimated at nearly 46 billion DH. This plan includes, inter alia, the construction of an LNG port to receive ships loaded with LNG, a regasification plant, combined-cycle power plants totalling 2,400 MW and a gas pipeline connecting the gas terminal to the areas of Consumption of Casablanca, Mohammedia and Kenitra as well as the north.
