Mission
Morocco aims to achieve 52% of its energy production from renewable sources by 2030. The country’s energy sector is shifting towards renewable energy sources, but fossil fuels still dominate the country’s energy mix
Recent highlights include the Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (RECAI), which ranks Morocco as a top African country in renewable energy development. Projections indicate that Morocco will bring over 1 GW of renewable energy capacity online annually from 2023 to 2027.
Notable Renewable Energy Projects in Morocco include; Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project, a $20 billion subsea interconnector that will deliver 11.5 GW of zero-carbon electricity from Moroccan solar and wind farms to the UK, supplying 3.6 GW of reliable energy for 19 hours daily.
