The electrical interconnection between Spain and Morocco is one of the best examples of energy cooperation between Europe and the countries of the southern Mediterranean region.
The first electrical interconnection between Spain and Morocco was put into operation in October 1997, with an energy exchange capacity of 700 MW. The saturation in commercial exchange in this first circuit made it necessary to set up a second interconnection that would double the transport capacity to 1,400 MW, with the subsequent improvement in the safety and reliability of supply. The aim of the REMO project was to increase the exchange capacity of electricity between Spain and Morocco and thereby improve reliability in supply and strengthen the stability of the electrical systems in both countries.

In 2002 the enlargement works of Madrid's Barajas airport were commenced, embracing the new T-4 terminal and two new runways. These infrastructures were affected by the fact that a part of the 400 kV line (double circuit San Sebastián de los Reyes-Loeches-Morata) ran very close to the new runways under construction. AENA, the airports authority, asked Red Eléctrica for a solution to this problem, and it was decided to bury a 12.7 km section of this line, which is very important in supplying the capital's distribution substations.
