Morocco to fund renewable energy

Morocco is set to become the first Arab League country to use government funds to push renewable energy sources.

Observers say the country could in the long run sell electricity to Europe.

In Europe, firms selling renewable energy technology such as wind rotors or solar panels could in turn export their goods to Morocco. Germany, which is leading the pack in solar and wind energy technology, is especially interested: As early as last year, some 50 German companies took part in a conference in Rabat, Morocco, to sound out possibilities for economic and scientific cooperation in the Moroccan renewable energy sector.
