The Prime Minister, Aziz Akhannouch, chaired a meeting of the steering committee on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, in Rabat, to follow up on “Morocco’s Initiative” in the field of green hydrogen. This comes in response to royal directives aimed at enhancing Morocco’s position among the leading countries in this strategic sector.
The meeting approved a number of significant measures and announced the successful completion of the preliminary phase of the “Chabika 1” project on schedule, paving the way for the commencement of advanced studies to be carried out by a consortium of French and Danish companies.
The committee also agreed to sign preliminary contracts to reserve land for five selected national and international investors, chosen during a previous committee meeting in March 2025, to implement six projects in the country’s southern regions, with a total cost reaching 319 billion dirhams.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister praised the positive momentum in implementing Morocco’s green hydrogen initiative, emphasizing that the investment dynamic strengthens partnerships and reinforces the confidence of national and international stakeholders, establishing the Kingdom as a regional and global energy hub in this promising sector.
Akhannouch underscored the importance of integrated infrastructure planning, including the electricity grid, ports, and desalination plants, stressing the need to align project completion dates with the green hydrogen initiative’s schedule. He affirmed that project selection follows a scientific and transparent methodology that ensures balanced partnerships and motivates investors while promoting the effective use of public land.
The door for selection remains open for investors aiming to benefit from Morocco’s strategic geographic location, rich natural resources, and world-class infrastructure, contributing to enhancing the Kingdom’s position in the renewable energy sector.
