Get StartedMorocco is preparing to launch a massive foray into clean energy with its ambitious 1.6 GW BESS projects. The National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) is expected to invite tenders for battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling nearly 1,600MW.
In June, the Moroccan government signed an investment agreement with Gotion for a battery factory with a total investment of 12.8 billion dirhams ($1.3 billion) and an initial battery capacity of 20 GWh.
CDG, Morocco's largest public financial investment institution, will support Gotion's operations of the project in Morocco. The first phase of the project, which covers power batteries, energy storage batteries and cathode and anode materials, is expected to directly create more than 2,000 local jobs, Gotion said.
On November 13, Gotion signed a memorandum of understanding with Moroccan investment agency CDG Group, which plans to invest 300 million euros ($280 million) in the first phase of Gotion's Moroccan project, according to an announcement today.
Morocco’s 1.6 GW BESS projects represent a key step in its clean energy ambitions. The facilities will electrify key urban areas and firm up the grid. Although the initial focus is in the northwest, the government aims nationwide. Furthermore, the projects align with Morocco’s ambitions to generate 52% of its electricity from renewables by 2030.
Gotion's chairman, Li Zhen, said the company will bring its advanced production lines, technology, and management to Morocco and work with CDG to make this project a benchmark for energy transformation in Morocco.
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. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide.
