The management of Shell has signed a 12-year arrangement to supply Morocco with 0.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year.
A statement from the Energy Ministry explained that the agreement was signed by the National Electricity and Drinking Water Office (ONEE) and Shell to assist Morocco’s energy needs and diversify its energy sources.
According to the ministry, the gas would initially be transported from Spanish ports via a gas pipeline that connects the two countries until Morocco constructs its own LNG facilities.
The LNG will assist ONEE in operating two power units in northern and eastern Morocco that formerly ran on Algerian gas delivered over the same pipeline, according to reports.
