Chinese company Lanke High-Tech, specializing in energy equipment and solar thermal storage technologies, has announced the opening of a facility in Morocco as part of its international expansion strategy. At the same time, the group is advancing the development of a 100 MW solar thermal storage project in the Kingdom.
According to several Chinese economic media outlets, the year 2025 marked an acceleration in the company’s international establishment. In this context, Lanke High-Tech has strengthened the creation of bases aimed at foreign markets, notably in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai, which will serve as regional platforms for its international activities.
The Moroccan project involves the development of a solar thermal storage facility using molten salt technology. This system allows for the storage of heat produced by a solar power plant to generate electricity even after sunset, thereby enhancing the stability and continuity of energy production.
According to information published by Chinese financial press, Lanke High-Tech has already secured several significant international contracts in the field of solar thermal storage, and the Moroccan project is among the company’s major achievements abroad.
The technology utilized is based on the principle of concentrated solar thermal power plants, which capture solar radiation to produce heat. This heat is then stored or converted into electricity in specialized facilities, offering a compelling solution for energy systems heavily reliant on renewable sources.
For Lanke High-Tech, the new operations in Morocco and the Middle East are intended to serve as strategic bases for the development of its energy activities across various regions of the world. The group specifically targets North Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, where numerous energy projects are currently in development.
In this context, the 100 MW solar thermal project in Morocco stands out as one of the group’s most significant international undertakings in this sector. This initiative also aligns with the national momentum for developing renewable energies and diversifying the Kingdom’s energy mix.
