Morocco Emerges as a LFP Battery Hub for Chinese Companies
01 Rich Resources and Widespread Investments Since 2023, several Chinese lithium battery industry chain companies, including CATL, Gotion High-Tech, Sunwoda, BTR, Huayou
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.
Since 2023, several Chinese lithium battery industry chain companies, including CATL, Gotion High-Tech, Sunwoda, BTR, Huayou Cobalt, CNGR Advanced Material and Tinci Materials, have collectively invested in Morocco and built factories. The battery industry chain centered around LFP is forming rapidly.
Thanks to its natural resources, advantageous geographical position and strategic partnerships with global players, Morocco aims to become a regional hub for sustainable technologies for Africa and Europe by investing heavily in the lithium and electric battery industry.
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.
