It seems to be stuck in the past, talking about "baseload" and solar in deserts.
Being part of an Europe wide supergrid that connects distributed storage and generation seems to be a much more modern take from the UK side.
Meanwhile Morocco probably wants to be looking at ways it can turn its renewables into something it can sell to more than one country, probably via some kind of value-add industry.
edit: one specific oddity, in order to make full use of the cable, they need to combine the solar with wind and batteries. But wind and batteries can be installed in the UK/North Sea, and wind is stronger in the winter.
