Morocco is increasingly 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 Colombian and Moroccan markets.
It is now active! Morocco is in the sights of global energy companies. To this end, the CEO of the specialized firm Factorenergia, Emili Rousaud, assumes that these two countries represent strategic opportunities where the company can “ bring value“. This statement was made during the BCN Desperta day, organized by the digital Iberian media Crónica Global, Metropoli and El Español.
Currently present in Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Chile and Bulgaria, Factorenergia is experiencing strong growth, having recently exceeded 300,000 customers. 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 provide fertile ground for companies in the sector.
However, in Spain, the company faces regulatory concerns. Rousaud said to himself “ concerned » by a possible ban on using telephone calls for the sale of energy services. This proposal, which could be implemented by the Spanish government, is seen by the CEO as a “ brake on competition“. According to him, banning this sales channel could affect the competitiveness of the energy market, dominated by large historical players.
The association of independent energy marketers has already expressed its dissatisfaction to the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) and government authorities, arguing that this measure could disadvantage small market players who depend on this type of energy. prospecting to attract new customers.
On the energy front, Rousaud welcomed the progress of Spain, which he describes as an “energy powerhouse” thanks to the rapid development of renewable energies. These green energy sources, notably solar and wind, allow the country to benefit from low-cost energy, which strengthens its energy independence while reducing its carbon footprint.
Despite these advances, the situation in Catalonia, the region where Factorenergia’s headquarters are located, is considered ” worrying » by Rousaud. He warned that if nuclear power plants in the region were to close, much of local energy production would be compromised, putting the supply at risk for millions of homes. He also criticizes “the administrative obstacles which slow down the development of renewable energies in Catalonia, regretting that few projects have seen the light of day in recent years”.
