The first phase of the project is expected to create over 2,000 jobs. In terms of energy storage projects, Morocco is actively introducing battery energy storage systems (BESS) to complement renewable energy. Several Chinese companies are involved in this.
The battery industry chain centered around LFP is forming rapidly. In June this year, the Moroccan government announced that Gotion High-Tech would invest $1.3 billion (US) to build a gigafactory for EV batteries.
The project, led by Chinese company Gotion High-Tech, will place Morocco at the heart of the global clean energy race, transforming the country into a key supplier of batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
Huayou Cobalt and LG Energy Solution will co-build a plant in Morocco, one for 50,000 tons of LFP annually and another for 52,000 tons of lithium conversion annually. In addition to abundant phosphate reserves, Morocco also possesses metal resources like cobalt and lithium needed for battery production and has cost advantages.
