Octopus Energy Group has given financial backing to a project to import solar and wind power from Morocco via the world’s longest subsea interconnectors. Developer Xlinks is planning to build 7GW of solar farms, 3.5GW of wind farms and 5GW/20GWh of battery storage in a patch of desert in the south of Morocco, and import the power generated back to the UK through two 1.8GW interconnectors.
