Energy Transition: Synergies Between Morocco and Andalusia

Andalusia and Morocco’s Ambitious Vision for Sustainable Development

Andalusia and Morocco share an ambitious strategic vision for sustainable development and energy transition, paving the way for a strengthened partnership in the fields of clean energy, green hydrogen, and sustainable resource management. This was asserted by Rodrigo Rodríguez Hans, Vice President of Prodetur (Provincial Government of Seville).

According to him, the geographical proximity and complementary resources make Morocco a natural partner for Andalusia within the framework of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation. He emphasized that both countries share the same goals: sustainability, innovation, energy efficiency, and responsible development. This strategic convergence, he noted, opens promising prospects for technology and environmental companies on both sides of the strait.

Rodríguez Hans also highlighted the active role of the provincial government of Seville in strengthening institutional relations, specifying that Seville’s entrepreneurial landscape is eager to engage more in joint projects, particularly in solar energy, green hydrogen production, and innovative energy management solutions.

Discussing the dynamics of his region, he pointed out that 90.6% of the installed power capacity in the province of Seville currently comes from renewable sources, accounting for nearly a quarter of the total in Andalusia. This remarkable achievement is supported by flagship projects such as the green hydrogen plant at the Port of Seville, Heineken’s solar thermal power plant, and the HGreen La Isla facility in Dos Hermanas.

For Mr. Rodríguez Hans, these initiatives are not just a strong economic lever but also a successful model of sustainable development, fostering the creation of skilled jobs and social stability.

He finally stressed the importance of enhancing expertise exchanges between Morocco and Andalusia, believing that energy cooperation between the two countries embodies a shared ambition: to make the Euro-Mediterranean area a reference hub for ecological transition and green growth.
