The findings from the Morocco Energy Policy MRV demonstrate that the country has made significant progress on the implementation of its National Energy Strategy. The effort has so far resulted in electricity demand saving, more renewable energy generation, and significant emission reduction.
However, more needs to be done for the Moroccan electric system to achieve long-term financial, energy, and climate sustainability. Moving forward, continuation of energy subsidies and tariff reform, and acceleration of the incorporation of renewables are instrumental to the success of the National Energy Strategy and NDC.
As a net energy importer seeking to improve its energy security, Morocco has stepped up initiatives to achieve a level of domestic energy sovereignty. This includes following guidelines for transitioning to cleaner energy sources, with an emphasis on diversification.
Beyond the advancement of renewable energy, Morocco’s policy initiatives encompass energy efficiency measures in challenging-to-abate sectors, such as building insulation and the adoption of energy-saving light bulbs. The overarching objective is to achieve a 20% reduction in overall energy consumption by 2030.
The policy package saved 378 GWh of electricity in 2016, equivalent to 1.1% of electricity generation, and increased renewable energy in that year to 32% of total installed capacity, as opposed to 26% estimated in the baseline1. More needs to be done for the Moroccan electric system to achieve long-term financial-energy-climate sustainability.
Looking forward, Morocco needs make substantial additional policy efforts to enable its ambition of reaching 52% renewable installed capacity by 2030, while preserving valuable fiscal resources from wasteful and inefficient energy subsidies and protecting those people who could be adversely affected by these policies.
