A major power infrastructure project has just gone live in Morocco, as a new high-voltage transmission line connecting Sidi Bennour to Laâwamer was officially switched on this Sunday, December 28. The line, operating at 400 kilovolts and built with a double-circuit design, stretches across a 98-kilometer route.
This development is part of Morocco’s broader national investment strategy aimed at upgrading the country’s electricity transmission network. By strengthening interregional energy flow and expanding the grid’s capacity, the project is expected to significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of the nation’s electrical system.
The construction required substantial technical expertise and manpower, with the total investment exceeding 184 million dirhams. More than just a major engineering feat, the project represents a crucial step forward in Morocco’s long-term energy modernization efforts.
By launching this new line, the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) continues to support Morocco’s shift toward a more sustainable energy model. The goal is to build a more resilient, high-performing public electricity service that can meet the growing demands of the future while staying aligned with the country’s broader energy transition goals.
