UAE + Morocco wrap up CEPA talks: UAE Foreign Trade Minister Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi and Morocco’s Minister of State for Foreign Trade Ryad Mezzour concluded negotiations on a comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CEPA) to boost investment in renewable energy and mining among other areas, Wam reports.

REMEMBER- Morocco is set to quadruple its investments in renewable energy from USD 400 mn in 2024 to USD 1.5 bn by 2027, Energy and Sustainable Development Minister Leila Benali said during a parliamentary session earlier this month. The kingdom plans to add around 7.5 GW of renewable energy by 2027, excluding green hydrogen and desalination projects, with USD 3 bn worth of investments earmarked to boost its transmission grid by 2027.
