Since electrification began in Morocco under the French Protectorate, Morocco has had a prominent renewable energy (hydroelectricity) plan while large quantities of electricity generation from fossil fuels were developed without being publicized by the state. 37 The French Protectorate, and later King Hassan II, projected Morocco''s …
Morocco is making strong progress towards affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7). The government has achieved almost full access to electricity for its rural population, and it is developing the country''s significant renewable energy resources.
Demand for electricity in Morocco has grown rapidly in recent years as a result of steady economic development. Estimates suggest that the country''s installed generation capacity will have to be tripled in order to meet rising demand, which has expanded by an estimated 6-7% annually in recent years. The primary challenge lies in determining
