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).
Moroccan electricity system Morocco's electricity sector has undergone significant transformation in recent decades, thanks to a combination of policy reforms, infrastructure investment, and a focus on RE sources. Figure S1, which can be found in the supplementary document, provides a comprehensive overview of this power system.
On April 23, 2025, Morocco's Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development launched a call for expressions of interest to develop an integrated infrastructure for natural gas reception, storage, re-gasification, and transport, alongside a gas-fired power plant.
Morocco could transition to a RE-based electricity system with a 92 % integration rate by 2050 for an additional $32 billion total cost. Achieving this requires adopting the ambitious NANES scenario, which includes EE measures to reduce energy demand by 15 % between 2030 and 2050 compared to baseline forecasts.
The first large-scale electricity storage project in Morocco is the 460 MW Afourer Pumped Storage Power Station( PETS ),commissioned in 2004. It consists of a hydraulic system composed of two 1.3
