You manage electricity flows on the Morocco–Spain interconnection — and every MWh imported from Morocco into the EU triggers a CBAM obligation under Art. 6

You are a trader, capacity holder or grid operator managing electricity flows across the Morocco–Spain interconnection — two submarine cables of 700 MW each, with a third cable planned. The flows are bidirectional: sometimes Spain exports to Morocco, sometimes Morocco exports to Spain. The CBAM (Reg. (EU) 2023/956) only applies when electricity flows from Morocco into the EU customs territory. You are the declarant as the capacity holder under Art. 5. Electricity (CN 2716 00 00) has its own calculation method under Annex IV, point 4.2, with country-specific default emission factors. CBAMCheck covers the electricity sector with preconfigured Moroccan grid mix values. 12 deliverables. €299 one-time.

Your CBAM compliance timeline

1
Identify your CBAM declarant status
The capacity holder on the interconnection is typically the declarant. Art. 5 of Reg. (EU) 2023/956.
2
Determine when CBAM applies
CBAM triggers only on net imports of electricity from Morocco into the EU. When Spain exports to Morocco, no CBAM applies to that flow.
3
Calculate embedded emissions
Electricity uses specific default values: the CO₂ emission factor of the Moroccan grid or, if available, specific default values per Annex IV, point 4.2.
4
Assess conditions for actual emissions
Under Annex IV, point 5, actual emissions may be used for electricity if cumulative conditions are met: power purchase agreement, no network congestion, <550 g CO₂/kWh, nominated capacity. Verified by accredited verifier.
5
Purchase CBAM certificates
Based on MWh imported and the applicable emission factor, adjusted for free allocation under Art. 31. Art. 22.
6
Submit annual CBAM declaration
First declaration: 30 September 2027 for calendar year 2026. Art. 6.

Three mistakes that inflate your CBAM cost or create compliance risk

MISTAKE 1 — WRONG DIRECTION

Declaring CBAM on Spain-to-Morocco exports

CBAM applies only to electricity imported into the EU customs territory. When Spain exports to Morocco, there is no CBAM obligation. Direction matters for every hour of flow.

MISTAKE 2 — GOODS-BASED TOOL

Using a tool designed for physical goods (steel, cement) for electricity

Electricity has its own calculation method under Annex IV (points 4.2 and 5), measured in MWh not tonnes, with specific conditions for actual emissions. Generic CBAM tools often do not cover electricity at all.

MISTAKE 3 — DISPROPORTIONATE COST

Paying enterprise rates for a niche regulatory obligation

Electricity interconnection CBAM is a specialised but well-defined compliance requirement. A €299 dossier covers the documentation need without an enterprise platform subscription.

The EU CBAM portal asks for data. CBAMCheck calculates it.

THE EU CBAM PORTAL

Asks you to declare data

The EU CBAM Registry (Art. 14) requires you to submit total embedded emissions, number of certificates and carbon price documentation. It does not calculate these for you. You must arrive with the numbers ready.

CBAMCHECK

Calculates the data you need to declare

CBAMCheck takes your import data (tonnes, CN codes, country of origin) and generates the embedded emissions calculation, certificate estimation, carbon price documentation and all supporting records. You download the dossier and use it to complete the CBAM Registry submission.

Enforcement: what happens when CBAM certificates are missing

Art. 26 of Reg. (EU) 2023/956 sets the penalties.

⚠️
Authorised declarant: penalty identical to EU ETS excess emissions penalty
EU ETS rate per missing certificate

Art. 26(1): an authorised CBAM declarant who fails to surrender the required certificates by 30 September faces a penalty identical to the excess emissions penalty under Art. 16(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, increased pursuant to Art. 16(4). The penalty applies per certificate not surrendered. Payment does not release the obligation to surrender outstanding certificates (Art. 26(3)).

⚠️
Unauthorised importer: penalty 3–5 times the standard rate
3–5×

Art. 26(2): a person who introduces goods without authorisation faces a penalty of 3 to 5 times the standard penalty, depending on duration, gravity, scope, intent and cooperation. This also applies to importers exceeding the de minimis threshold (50 tonnes, Art. 2a) without authorisation (Art. 26(2a)).

What CBAMCheck guarantees and what it does not

CBAMCheck generates a document structured according to Art. 6 and Art. 7 + Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 from the information you enter. The truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of that information is your responsibility as importer or authorised CBAM declarant.

We guarantee that the document structure follows Regulation (EU) 2023/956 and that the legal references cited are correct. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a national competent authority in a specific case.

Frequently asked questions

Does the CBAM cover electricity?
Yes. Electricity (CN 2716 00 00) is explicitly listed in Annex I of Reg. (EU) 2023/956. The applicable greenhouse gas is CO₂. Electricity has its own calculation methods under Annex IV, points 4.2 and 5, separate from goods like steel or cement.
When does CBAM apply to Morocco–Spain flows?
Only when electricity is imported from Morocco into the EU (Morocco → Spain direction). Flows from Spain to Morocco are not subject to CBAM. The direction is determined hourly based on nominated capacity and actual flow data.
Can I use actual emissions instead of default values for electricity?
Under Annex IV, point 5, yes — if five cumulative conditions are met: a power purchase agreement, direct connection or no congestion, <550 g CO₂/kWh, firm capacity nomination for the same time period, and verification by an accredited verifier. CBAMCheck documents these conditions in the dossier.
Does Morocco have a carbon price?
No. Morocco has no carbon pricing mechanism qualifying for an Art. 9 deduction. The de minimis threshold of 50 tonnes (Art. 2a, Annex VII) does not apply to electricity imports.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment. The licence includes 30 days of editing and 10 regenerations. The downloaded dossier is yours to keep.
Can I get a refund?
Upon activating the licence you give express consent for immediate generation of digital content pursuant to Art. 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83, waiving the 14-day withdrawal right. Refunds are accepted only for a reproducible technical fault.
What if the regulation changes?
If the regulation changes during your licence validity, you can regenerate the document with the updated version of the generator at no extra cost.
⚠️ Important notice: CBAMCheck is a self-assessment documentation tool, not legal advice and not a third-party audit. The document is generated from your input data. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you provide. CBAMCheck does not replace a qualified professional assessment.
