Morocco's Ambitious Renewable Energy Vision
Key Ideas
  • Morocco aims to increase renewable energies to a 52% share of its total installed electricity capacity by 2030, with mega-projects like the Noor-Ouarzazate solar power complex playing a crucial role.
  • The country is expanding its renewable energy export capabilities, with projects like the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project set to supply millions of British homes with renewable energy via undersea cables.
  • The Al Wahda Power Plant, incorporating gas turbines capable of co-firing hydrogen, will support renewables integration and contribute to Morocco's energy stability and growth.
  • Morocco's National Hydrogen Strategy focuses on green hydrogen production, export, and its use in various sectors, aiming to become a key player in the hydrogen economy in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Morocco, strategically positioned at the edge of the Sahara Desert, is making significant strides in renewable energy. While still reliant on fossil fuel imports for over 90% of its energy supply, the country is determined to change that narrative. The Noor-Ouarzazate solar power complex, with its 580MW capacity, exemplifies Morocco's ambition to increase renewable energies to 52% by 2030. Furthermore, with projects like the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project, Morocco plans to export renewable energy to Europe. The construction of the Al Wahda Power Plant, incorporating gas turbines capable of co-firing hydrogen, is expected to enhance grid stability and support Morocco's clean energy goals. The country's National Hydrogen Strategy focuses on producing and exporting green hydrogen, ammonia, and synthetic fuels, alongside utilizing hydrogen for renewable energy storage and transport. These efforts aim to position Morocco as a key player in the hydrogen economy. Collaboration is central to Morocco's energy strategy, ensuring stable and sustainable energy production from its abundant wind and solar resources for domestic consumption and export.
