The Government of Morocco seeks to increase the security of the energy supply by reducing dependence on imports, including increasing the use of renewable sources for electricity production. As of the end of 2023, the share of renewable energy in the electrical capacity mix stood 11.42 GW (ANRE data).
Morocco has an average solar potential of five kilowatt hours (kWh) per square meter per day, although this varies geographically. Total installed capacity from solar energy currently stands at 831 MW. According to the Ministry of Energy Transition, and Sustainable Development, Morocco could potentially generate 25,000 MW of wind power.
Morocco's 2009 National Energy Strategy and its Paris Agreement NDC target call for an increase of renewable energies in the electricity mix to 52 percent by 2030. This target was recently increased to 56 percent.
Total installed capacity from solar energy currently stands at 831 MW. According to the Ministry of Energy Transition, and Sustainable Development, Morocco could potentially generate 25,000 MW of wind power. At present, Morocco has an installed capacity from wind energy of 1,650 MW, the second largest volume in Africa behind South Africa.
