The Canary Islands port of Granadilla is becoming a key point for the export of wind turbines to Morocco, facilitating the kingdom's renewable energy projects.

The port of Granadilla, located in the Canary Islands, has established itself as a strategic logistics hub for the export of wind turbines to Morocco. Several companies operating in the wind energy sector now use this platform.

It allows them to transport their equipment, taking advantage of its favorable geographical position between Europe and Africa. According to port authorities, nearly 150 wind turbines have transited through Granadilla in recent months, bound for Moroccan wind farms.

This development is part of Morocco's renewable energy plan, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy to 52% of the energy mix by 2030. A local official explains: “Granadilla offers modern infrastructure and ideal connectivity to meet the growing demand for wind power equipment in Morocco.” The components, often bulky, are stored there before being shipped to Moroccan ports such as Tanger Med.

Economic players in the Canary Islands welcome this dynamic. It strengthens trade between the archipelago and Morocco. “This is an opportunity to diversify our economy and create local jobs,” "Green energy traffic could account for up to 20% of the port's activity in the coming years," said a maritime sector representative.

With ambitious wind projects like the 300 MW Tarfaya project, Morocco is confirming its status as an African leader in clean energy. By positioning itself as a key link in this supply chain, the port of Granadilla is helping to accelerate the kingdom's energy transition while strengthening economic ties between the two sides of the Atlantic.
