This collaboration, formalized through an agreement signed in Rabat by Morocco\u2019s Interior Minister, Abdelouafi Laftit, and Veolia\u2019s CEO, Estelle Brachlianoff, aims to secure a sustainable supply of drinking water for the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n<p>The planned desalination facility, projected to produce up to 822,000 cubic meters of water daily\u2014or around 300 million cubic meters annually\u2014will become a linchpin in Morocco\u2019s efforts to combat water scarcity. A unique aspect of the project is its commitment to renewable energy as the primary power source, setting the stage for a cost-efficient production rate. By leveraging renewables, Veolia and Morocco intend to maintain one of the lowest production costs on the market, ensuring a final target price of 4.5 Moroccan dirhams per cubic meter, excluding taxes.<\/p>\n<p>This project underscores the robust ties between Morocco and France, particularly in sectors that address global sustainability challenges. Signed on the occasion of the French President\u2019s official visit to Morocco, this agreement showcases the collaborative spirit between the two nations as they jointly address the critical issues of water and energy sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>With this partnership, Morocco takes a significant stride toward long-term water security, aligning itself with global shifts toward sustainable infrastructure and showcasing how public-private collaborations can drive impactful solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a major step toward sustainable water management, Morocco has entered into a strategic partnership with Veolia Environnement to construct a state-of-the-art seawater desalination plant in Rabat.
