Germany is pursuing energy cooperation with Morocco to import renewable electricity and green hydrogen, aiming to diversify from Russian gas. Projects involve undersea cables connecting Morocco to Europe's power grid as part of the energy transition strategy.

The focus is on green hydrogen production in Morocco, with federal funding for pilot projects. Morocco targets over 50% renewables by 2030 and plans to produce up to 14 terawatt-hours of green hydrogen, exporting 10 terawatt-hours. Germany has invested roughly 830 million euros in Moroccan solar projects and supports plans to transmit 26 terawatt-hours of renewable electricity annually, requiring investments of 30 to 40 billion euros.
