Portugal considers Morocco power link

Portugal is asking the European Commission to push France for better electricity links to the Iberian Peninsula following last month's major power outage. It is also considering a power link with Morocco, in a similar way to Spain, that’s according to Swiss media. Portuguese Environment and Energy Minister Maria da Graça Carvalho announced the idea during meetings in Brussels on Wednesday, saying in “the case of Portugal and Spain, the most logical and rational interconnection is with France,” Carvalho said. “But we are also considering an interconnection with Morocco.”
