Submarine cable to connect 10.5 GW wind-solar complex in Morocco to the UK grid

> However, the supply of power would be similar to nuclear baseload as it would be able to deliver at least 8 hours during any peak demand for more than 363 days in the year

Nonsense. A nuke plant delivers steady power 24/7/365. Solar cannot do that without some way to store the power and release it when it is dark.

You typically will need 3x the capacity of intermittent sources to replace a base source like a nuke plant, plus some sort of batteries.

> Cable losses along the entire transmission line are estimated between 10 and 12%, but these are justified...

It makes much more sense to connect Morocco to Spain and have electricity produced across North Africa / Europe distributed in the most energy efficient way.
