The Government of Morocco intends to increase the country’s energy security by reducing its dependence on imports and diversifying its sources of natural gas imports. The Moroccan Ministry of the Energy Transisiton and Sustainable Development has contracted the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to assist in the design and tender of an LNG import and regasification terminal and related downstream infrastructure. This includes a sustainable LNG import terminal in the port of Nador West Med, a gas pipeline to connect the terminal to the Maghreb – Europe Gas Pipeline (GME) to the south (140km), and a gas pipeline to connect the industrial zone in Mohammedia to the GME to the west (220km). In May 2024, IFC retained Rogan Associates to provide engineering services related to the infrastructure design and feasibility studies for the LNG import terminal and pipeline project. Rogan Associates retained K&M Advisors LLC to review and comment on the feasibility study and related reports for the project.

In this assignment, K&M is tasked with several key responsibilities. Firstly, K&M will review and provide feedback on various critical documents, including the inception report, draft final report, final report, and the technical inputs to the bidding documents. Additionally, K&M will participate in calls with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) as requested by the Client, ensuring consistent communication and alignment on project objectives and deliverables.
