Morocco’s monthly imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through the Spain-Morocco interconnection increased by over 167% at the end of April. Moroccan Minister of Energy Leila Benali shared the new data with MPs at the House of Councillors on May 2, stressing the country’s efforts to accelerate investments in gas infrastructure.
