AfDB Approves €100 Million for Africa's First LFP Battery Gigafactory in Morocco
The African Development Bank has approved a €100 million facility to back Africa's first lithium iron phosphate battery gigafactory, located in Morocco. The project is described as a landmark clean-energy manufacturing milestone for the continent.
Morocco's Gigafactory: now it has to actually get built
Yesterday's take was about the strategic bet — Africa making batteries instead of just mining the minerals. Today's news is that the African Development Bank has put €100 million behind it.
That matters, because the gap between a landmark announcement and a functioning factory is where these projects usually die. Public backing at this scale makes it harder to walk away.
The source material is thin, so honesty demands this: the proof is in what ships off the production line, not what gets approved in a boardroom.
