Morocco's Ambitious Renewable Energy Targets and Strategic Projects
Key Ideas
  • Morocco's ANRE approves annual capacity targets for wind and solar, aiming for a significant increase in capacity from 2025 to 2029.
  • Strategic industrial projects like gigafactories, water desalination, and green hydrogen initiatives are driving the growth of renewable energy.
  • ONEE plans to invest in flexibility projects including pumped-storage power plants and battery energy storage systems to integrate more renewables.
  • Morocco aims to achieve a 52% share of renewables in its power mix by 2030.
Morocco's National Authority for Electricity Regulation (ANRE) has set ambitious annual capacity targets for wind and solar energy for the period 2025-2029. The targets aim to increase the country's capacity by nearly 6.9 GW, representing a significant growth from 2,450 MW in 2025 to 9,338 MW in 2029. This new target is 29% higher than the previous one set at 7,236 MW. The plan includes a substantial increase in solar capacity from 1,515 MW in 2025 to 5,163 MW in 2029, distributed between the transmission and distribution networks. Similarly, wind capacity on the transmission network is projected to rise from 935 MW in 2025 to 4,175 MW in 2029. The surge in wind and solar capacity is attributed to strategic industrial projects like gigafactories, water desalination, green hydrogen initiatives, and the electrification of industrial processes. The national power utility, ONEE, is also focusing on investing in flexibility projects such as pumped-storage power plants, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) projects to facilitate the integration of more renewable energy sources into the Moroccan power system. The ultimate goal of Morocco is to increase the share of renewables in its power mix to 52% by the year 2030, showcasing a strong commitment to sustainability and clean energy development.
