Morocco holds firm on deadline for integrated regas project

Morocco is in the final months of discussions with governments and gas-producing companies over long-term LNG import contracts. Senior adviser to the minister of energy, mining, water and the environment Abdellaziz El Gamah told the Morocco Energy Exchange (organised by African Energy’s publisher Cross-border Information) in Edinburgh on 12 October that the ministry had held “more than 100 meetings with international suppliers” who have submitted non-binding offers. “We project to short-list the international suppliers in December,” he said. The short list is expected to contain the names of three to six potential suppliers.
