4 FAQs about Solar energy policy rabat

What is Morocco's solar energy strategy?

Solar power is the main pillar of Morocco's renewable energy strategy, largely because of the country's high solar energy potential. The 2030 National Solar Plan, which is included in the 2021 NDC, now aims to reach a total capacity equivalent to 4 GW by 2030.

Will Morocco increase solar power capacity in 2023?

According to the Moroccan Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, installed solar power capacity should increase by 0.8 GW in 2023, as several projects are expected to start operations before the end of the year. On top of that, Morocco plans to add 1 GW of installed capacity in 2024 (Kingdom of Morocco, 2023c).

What is the future outlook of solar energy in Morocco?
