Renewable energy in Morocco
Morocco has a target of sourcing more than half of its electrical energy from renewable sources by 2030 and a plan to have 2,000 MW of wind and 2,000 MW of solar power plants by 2020, looking to add 1.5 GW renewable capacity annually.

As part of its national strategy, Morocco intends to achieve a power generation capacity of 24,800 MW by 2030. Another aim is to have renewable energies account for 52% of this capacity which currently
Wind, solar and biogas power generation in water-stressed areas
Morocco has a significant potential for solar power generation because of its high solar irradiance with annual sun hours of 2700–3500 in the North and South, respectively.

Annual generation per unit of installed PV capacity (MWh/kWp) 1.5 tC/ha/yr Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a
Simulated yearly evolution of electricity generation in Morocco
The photovoltaic sector in Morocco is a serious option for the future. The integration of this type of energy into the grid has a considerable effect on the adequacy of the grid.

These first two maps show the solar energy potential for Morocco in terms of global horizontal radiation and photovoltaic power potential. Global horizontal radiation is the power per unit area (surface power density)
Morocco is building Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in
The Ouarzazate Solar Power Station site has used innovative methods to generate and store the sun''s rays, particularly the latest developments in concentrated solar power. The humming, tracking mirrors of
Solar power in Morocco
Solar power in Morocco is enabled by the country having one of the highest rates of solar insolation among other countries— about 3,000 hours per year of sunshine but up to 3,600 hours in the desert. Morocco has launched one of the world''s largest solar
Solar Energy Resource and Power Generation in Morocco:
This research demonstrated the capacity of photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies to be rapidly integrated into the reverse osmosis desalination process. Moreover, the capacity of CSP to store heat at low cost offers significant flexibility, thereby considerably reducing dependence on the electrical grid, if necessary.

These first two maps show the solar energy potential for Morocco in terms of global horizontal radiation and photovoltaic power potential. Global horizontal radiation is the power per unit area (surface power density) received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation, it is measured in KWh/M2 and says how much power the sun will
Morocco is building Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Sahara
The Ouarzazate Solar Power Station site has used innovative methods to generate and store the sun''s rays, particularly the latest developments in concentrated solar power. The humming, tracking mirrors of the first two phases concentrate the sun''s rays onto a synthetic oil that runs through pipes and heats it to 350°C (662°F), creating
Solar power in Morocco
An International Energy Agency (IEA) report from July 2023 highlights that in 2020, imported fossil fuels—coal, oil, and gas—accounted for over 80% of Morocco''s electricity generation. It outlines that Morocco has developed a plan
