Morocco has introduced a new regulatory decree aimed at streamlining supervision of cross‑border Lithium‑Technology and Advanced Storage (LiTAS) projects, particularly those integrated with regional energy corridors. The rule clarifies which agencies oversee permitting, environmental assessments and cross‑border grid connections, reducing overlap between ministries and local authorities. By stabilizing rules for battery‑grade lithium processing, storage hubs and export‑oriented facilities, the government hopes to accelerate investment from European and Gulf partners. The changes are expected to lower approval timelines and improve Morocco’s competitiveness in the North Africa‑Europe clean‑energy value chain while supporting broader industrial diversification away from traditional mining.
