Octopus Energy invests in 10.5 GW Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project in Guelmim Oued Noun

Xlinks has announced a financial and strategic partnership with Octopus Energy Group to invest in 10.5 MW Morocco-UK Power Project in Guelmim-Oued Noun, Morocco.

The project will speed up the UK’s transition to net-zero by laying four 3,800km-long subsea cables to connect a renewable energy farm in the Moroccan desert with Devon in South West England. The project will diversify UK supply routes and boost energy security through the supply of 3.6 GW of reliable, clean power to the UK for an average of 20 hours a day, enough green energy to power about 7 million homes.

The project is scheduled to become operational in 2027.
