Renewable energy in Morocco

Ouarzazate Solar Power Station.

As of 2019, renewable energy in Morocco covered 35% of the country’s electricity needs.[1]

Morocco has a target of sourcing more than half of its electrical energy from renewable sources by 2030 and a plan to have 2,000 MW of wind and 2,000 MW of solar power plants by 2020, looking to add 1.5 GW renewable capacity annually. These targets, alongside other climate change policy, helped Morocco be rated second most prepared country in the 2018 and 2019 Climate Change Performance Indexes.[2]
