In a move that reflects the spirit of African solidarity, Morocco has provided significant support to Niger by offering a set of electric generators free of charge, amid sanctions imposed by Nigeria. This assistance comes at a critical time as Niger seeks to avoid power outages that affect citizens’ lives and economic activities.
Details of the Moroccan Initiative
Morocco has gifted Niger a complete power station consisting of nine electric generators with a total capacity of 22.5 megawatts. This project was implemented under the directives of King Mohammed VI and aims to enhance Niger’s ability to meet its growing energy needs.
Additionally, Morocco has sent 30 engineers and technicians to assist local authorities in installing these generators, reflecting the technical cooperation between the two countries.
Impact on Energy Capacity
This initiative is expected to increase the capacity of the National Electricity Company of Niger (NIGELEC) by 18 megawatts, which is an important step towards improving electricity supplies in the capital, Niamey, and its surrounding areas.
Context and Significance
This initiative is part of Morocco’s efforts to strengthen cooperation with its African neighbors and support them in developing energy infrastructure. The Nigerien Minister of Energy expressed her deep gratitude to Morocco, describing this step as a model for bilateral partnership and a move towards achieving energy independence for Niger.
Morocco’s support for Niger reflects its strong commitment to promoting sustainable development in the region and strengthens the fraternal ties between African nations.
