    important contribution to the energy mix

    The share of renewable energies; hydro (outside PHES), wind and solar in the Moroccan energy mix went from 2.6% in 2002 to almost 9% in 2019. This share excluding hydropower represents 7.5% of the mix national energy supply in 2019 instead of 0.5% in 2002

Mr Aziz RABBAH - MINISTER OF ENERGY,
MINES AND ENVIRONMENT

The Portal of the Moroccan Energy Observatory is a link connecting men and women citizens and various actors in the sector: ministerial departments, national institutions, as well as civil, political, trade unions and media organizations. This electronic service provided by the Observatory offers easy access to reliable data and information on the energy sector. It represents the success of a cumulative process and communication, ushering in a new era of interactivity and digitization. This process is initiated by embodying a new diversified visual identity in many work axes related to the energy pole. The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Environment intends to make it a platform for communication and interaction that meets the requirements arising from current changes. It will ... Read More

The energy sector in Morocco.

Morocco is pursuing an ambitious energy sector strategy with projects worth USD 40 billion by 2030, including USD 30 billion for renewable energy, to develop this sector. The energy transition in Morocco has begun to bear fruit and the share of wind power and solar energy in installed power, which was only 2% at the beginning of 2009, reached 13% in 2016. Morocco pays great attention to training in the field of renewable energy, with the development of a network of training centers in the renewable energy and energy efficiency professions.

Solar energy

Solar energy

It allows the direct conversion of solar energy into electrical energy thanks to a solid electronic technology of high reliability and a lifetime exceeding 25 years. Thanks to the possibility of interconnection, photovoltaic solar panels offer very high power modularity from a few fractions of W for calculators to KW for decentralized systems (electrification, water pumping, radio relay, etc.,) and ...

Wind energy

Wind energy

L’énergie éolienne est une source d’énergie qui dépend du vent. Le soleil chauffe inégalement la Terre, ce qui crée des zones de températures et de pression atmosphérique différentes tout autour du globe. De ces différences de pression naissent des mouvements d’air, appelés vent. Cette énergie permet de fabriquer de l’électricité dans des éoliennes, appelées aussi aérogénérateurs, grâce à la force ...

Hydroelectric power

Hydroelectric power

Hydroelectric power, or hydropower, is renewable electrical energy that comes from converting hydro power into electricity. The kinetic energy of the water flow, natural or generated by the difference in level, is converted into mechanical energy by a hydraulic turbine, then into electrical energy by a synchronous electric generator.

Biomass energy

Biomass energy

Biomass energy is the oldest form of energy used by man since the discovery of fire in prehistory. This energy makes it possible to manufacture electricity thanks to the heat released by the combustion of these materials (wood, plants, agricultural waste, organic household refuse) or the biogas resulting from the fermentation of these materials, in biomass plants.

Fossil Electrical Energy

Fossil Electrical Energy

A coal plant produces electricity using the heat generated by burning coal. Coal is a fossil fuel of organic origin. It is the result of the transformation of forest residues buried in the soil for nearly 300 million years (Carboniferous era). By burial, under pressure and high temperatures due to the depth, the buried plants decomposed then transformed into a ...
