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.
With strategic investment in solar infrastructure, Morocco is poised to realise its full potential, accelerate its energy transition, and foster long-term sustainable growth.” Morocco is committed to expanding its renewable energy capacity, aiming to reach at least a 52% share of its total electricity capacity by 2030.
As of the end of 2022, the share of renewable energy in Morocco's electrical capacity mix stood at 38 %, or 4154 MW, with a total installed capacity from renewable energy sources at 4031 MW, corresponding to 38.2 % of the total installed electrical capacity .
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).
