Get StartedThe data and analytics company found that Morocco had a renewable installed capacity of 3.9GW in 2020 and it’s estimated to have reached 4.3GW in 2021, an increase of 9%. Morocco’s renewable installed capacity is forecast to reach 9.6GW by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3% during 2020-2030.
Morocco could transition to a RE-based electricity system with a 92 % integration rate by 2050 for an additional $32 billion total cost. Achieving this requires adopting the ambitious NANES scenario, which includes EE measures to reduce energy demand by 15 % between 2030 and 2050 compared to baseline forecasts.
Using energy storage and green hydrogen among others, Morocco aims to increase the share of renewables in its total power capacity to 52% by 2030, 70% by 2040 and 80% by 2050.
Law 48-15: Regulates the electricity sector and establishes a National Electricity Regulatory Authority. Looking ahead, Morocco’s roadmap for 2019-2030 outlined the addition of 4262 MW of capacity, primarily from renewables (99.5%). This includes specific targets for wind, concentrated solar power, solar photovoltaic, and biomass energy.
To meet its energy goals, Morocco must make substantial investments in its electricity infrastructure. The government’s plans for the future require capital expenditures ranging from USD 181 billion (under the NMNES scenario) to USD 218 billion (under the NANES scenario) from 2020 to 2050.
Morocco is pursuing a resilient energy future through a multifaceted approach. This includes a strategic focus on renewable energy sources to accompany its energy transition, and the diversification of its energy mix to ensure a sustainable energy transition without compromising energy security.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
