Morocco plans to install 6GW of renewable energy this decade.
- The country has set a 52% contribution from renewable energy to its electricity mix target.
- About 3.4GW of this capacity will come from solar technology.
Morocco wants to install 6GW of clean energy to meet its 52 per cent renewable integration target by 2030. The capacity will come from a mix of several technologies, including solar, wind, hydro and mix between solar and CSP, an official from the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) stated.
Morocco is also looking to develop clean energy projects in several countries in Africa. Masen is also set to develop a hydro project in Zambia. Under the Desert to Power initiative, MASEN is partnering with the African Development Bank to mobilise public and private funds to install up to 10 GW of solar capacity across the Sahel. The country’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen project will start production in 2025.
