A new project to ship energy from Morocco to the United Kingdom
The British company Xlinks launches the idea of producing energy in the Moroccan Sahara and sending it to the United Kingdom via a submarine cable. He is just taking up
the idea of Desertec, the Dii industrial initiative in 2009, and then Nur Energie.
The project would cost $21.6 billion and could provide electricity at $70 per MWh. This compares to the price of nuclear electricity to be supplied at $125 (£92.50) 2012 prices for Hinkley Point C power.
The proposal comes at a time when the UK is considering how to obtain energy in the future and is advocating offshore wind turbines.
