The Moroccan market for energy transition continues to attract foreign investors. After IDSUD, BUTEC, and Factor Energia, it is now the French group **Energy Design** that is setting up in Morocco, with the creation of a 100% subsidiary called **NZ Link**.
**A strategy focused on clean production**
This is the group’s first establishment in Africa. NZ Link will be tasked with developing, financing, designing, constructing, and operating solar and wind installations. It will operate both as an independent electricity producer and as a service provider for clients looking to decarbonize their energy consumption.
**At the head of this new entity, two experienced profiles**
Energy Design has entrusted the management of this subsidiary to two young Franco-Moroccan executives, **Salaheddine Bencheikh** and **Youssef Srikah**, who have solid experience gained in leading groups such as Engie, Énergie Team, Suez, and Elys. Both joined the Paris headquarters of Energy Design before being assigned to lead the deployment in Morocco.
**A national context favorable to development**
This arrival comes in a particularly favorable climate. The Kingdom aims to accelerate its energy transition, particularly to support the decarbonization of industry. This dynamic is reinforced by the prospect of the European carbon tax coming into effect, which directly affects Moroccan exports.
**Morocco, a new playground for clean energy**
With this new project, Energy Design confirms the growing attractiveness of Morocco in the field of renewable energies. A strong signal that reflects the strategic position the country now occupies in the global energy transition value chains.
