Morocco targets over 52% renewable energy share by 2030

Morocco has reaffirmed its commitment to a sustainable energy future with a new strategic agreement aimed at boosting electricity production from renewable sources to 52% of installed electricity capacity by 2030.

The agreement brings together the Moroccan government, the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), and the National Agency for Strategic Management of State Holdings and Oversight of Public Enterprises (ANGSPE).

It marks a major milestone in the implementation of the National Renewable Energy Program (PNER), aligning with the royal directives to enhance energy efficiency and sovereignty.

“This convention reflects our commitment to a sovereign, efficient, and sustainable energy transition,” said Prime Minister Akhannouch. “Thanks to the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, renewable energy is now a cornerstone of Morocco’s development strategy.”

The agreement outlines plans to deploy 5 gigawatts of green electricity for industrial use by 2030, aiming to streamline costs across the energy value chain and ensure balanced responsibility-sharing between ONEE and MASEN.

It also reinforces the contractual and economic stability of renewable energy projects, in line with the state’s participation policy that promotes synergy among public institutions.

This move is expected to inject new momentum into Morocco’s renewable energy sector, positioning the country as a
regional leader in green industrialization and sustainable development.
