Morocco is strengthening its position as an international energy hub. Factorenergia, one of the leading energy marketing companies in Spain, continues its international expansion with advanced plans to enter the markets of Colombia and Morocco.
It is now active! Morocco is in the sights of global energy companies. To that end, the CEO of the specialized firm Factorenergia, Emili Rousaud, accepts that these two countries represent strategic opportunities where the company can ” give value“. This statement was made during the BCN Desperta day, organized by the Iberian digital media Crónica Global, Metropoli and El Español.
Currently in Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Chile and Bulgaria, Factorenergia is experiencing strong growth, with more than 300,000 customers recently. The company is banking on its energy model to establish itself in emerging markets such as Colombia and Morocco, where growing energy needs and policies favorable to foreign investment make fertile ground for companies in the sector.
In Spain, however, the company faces regulatory concerns. Rousaud said to himself “ involved » through a possible ban on using phone calls to sell energy services. The Chief Executive views this proposal, which could be implemented by the Spanish government, as ” prohibition of competition“. According to him, a ban on the sales channel could affect the competitiveness of the energy market, most historically large players.
The association of independent energy marketers expressed their displeasure to the National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) and the government authorities, arguing that this measure could disadvantage small market players who rely on this type of energy to attract new customers.
Regarding energy, Rousaud welcomed the progress of Spain, which he describes as an “energy powerhouse” due to the rapid development of renewable energy. These green energy sources, especially solar and wind, allow the country to tap into low-cost energy, strengthening its energy independence while reducing its carbon footprint.
Despite this progress, the situation in Catalonia, the region where Factorenergia’s headquarters is located, is considered, ” worried » by Rousaud. He warned that if nuclear power stations in the region were to be closed, much of the local energy production would be put at risk, jeopardizing the supply to millions of homes. He also criticized “the administrative obstacles that delay the development of renewable energy in Catalonia, it is regrettable that not many projects have seen the light of day in recent years”.
