Morocco-Portugal interconnection :

1x220 KV

• Feasibility study

Morocco-Mauritania interconnection : • Under study • As a first step, Laâyoune-Dakhla line under development

Renewable Integration: Needs for flexibility

8

Renewable Integration: Needs for flexibility Wind and solar variability need enhanced flexibility from hydro and thermal units

• Minimum residual demand is very far less that the minimum demand without renewables; • Ramping gradient of 1 hour is likely to cause sharp jumps in the residual demand.

9

Renewable Integration: Needs for flexibility  Flexibility from Interconnections  Existing 400 kV double circuits with Spain: 1400 MW  Launched feasibility study with Portugal : up to 2000 MW

 Flexibility from Hydropower Plants  Existing gravitational hydroplants (with reservoirs): 1000 MW  Existing pumped storage hydroplants (PSHP): 464 MW  Future PSHP: 950 MW

 Flexibility from Combined Cycles  Existing CCGT: 830 MW  Future CCGT (Gas-to-Power Project) : 2400 MW
