The battery industry chain centered around LFP is forming rapidly. In June this year, the Moroccan government announced that Gotion High-Tech would invest $1.3 billion (US) to build a gigafactory for EV batteries.
Huayou Cobalt and LG Energy Solution will co-build a plant in Morocco, one for 50,000 tons of LFP annually and another for 52,000 tons of lithium conversion annually. In addition to abundant phosphate reserves, Morocco also possesses metal resources like cobalt and lithium needed for battery production and has cost advantages.
The projects are spearheaded by the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN) and Morocco's national electricity company ONEE. On May 20, 2025, MASEN received financing approval from the World Bank for its "Morocco Energy Storage Testbed Project", aiming to enhance grid stability.
CATL has already planned over 100 GWh of production capacity at its European factories. Additionally, Sunwoda is also setting up a battery production base in Morocco. The number of material manufacturers investing in Morocco is even larger.
In the face of the rise of renewable energies, ensuring the stability of the electrical grid has become a major challenge. To address this, Morocco is resolutely focusing on lithium iron phosphate
