Morocco’s National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) has secured up to €250 million in financing from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to modernize the country’s drinking water infrastructure and improve system performance under its 2025–2030 investment plan.
The loan will support projects that cut water losses, enhance energy efficiency and strengthen the resilience of drinking water services in a context of mounting climate and drought pressures.
The facility is designed to finance priority investments in water production, treatment and distribution assets across Morocco, with a strong focus on reducing physical and commercial losses and upgrading ageing infrastructure.
The funding aligns with ONEE’s 2025–2030 investment plan, which aims to strengthen and modernize drinking water systems and ensure reliable service in both urban and rural areas.
Morocco’s water performance improvement program focuses on technical and operational efficiency, including investments that directly affect pumping, treatment and distribution performance.
EBRD loan will support measures destined to improve the technical performance of existing water production facilities, rehabilitate distribution networks, and deploy better monitoring and control systems to tackle non revenue water.
By reducing water and energy losses in the network, ONEE can lower operating costs while extending scarce water resources amid rising climate stress and recurrent droughts.
