Morocco wants to stimulate the self-production of electrical energy by the private sector.
That's why the government has granted more than 30 permits for solar projects with a total capacity of 350 MW. This would reduce the country's dependence on energy and accelerate the energy transition process.
Morocco relies heavily on imports of fossil fuels, which constitute a large portion of its energy mix. At the same time, the country is suffering from the consequences of climate change, such as drought and water shortages. That's why the country wants to make more use of its solar potential, which is one of the highest in the world.
The private sector permits aim to support the country's companies in meeting their energy needs and relieve pressure on the national electricity grid. According to researchers in the field of climate and sustainable development, this is an important step, but more efforts are needed to achieve the energy strategy.
They call for establishing a stimulating legal framework, enhancing human and technical capabilities, improving energy efficiency, and increasing awareness of the importance of saving energy.
They also emphasize the role of the private sector as a partner to public authorities in confronting climate challenges. They see the opportunity not only to achieve self-sufficiency, but also to export surplus clean energy.
