Follow-Up
Morocco has set a ceiling of 20% for exporting electricity generated from solar energy, aiming to balance domestic demand while enhancing the kingdom’s position as a source of clean energy.
This initiative is part of a national strategy to accelerate the energy transition, focusing on ensuring energy security and avoiding any potential strain on the national electricity grid.
In contrast, the authorities intend to channel investments more significantly towards energy storage projects, particularly through the development of battery technologies and storage plants. This approach allows for better management of excess production from renewable energies and ensures the continuity of supply.
These measures fall under programs led by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, in partnership with public and private stakeholders, to enhance the flexibility of the electrical system and increase its capacity to absorb clean energies.
This decision also reflects Morocco’s desire to valorize its energy resources internally by supporting energy-related industries and stimulating investments in innovation and technology, particularly in smart storage and grid management.
Observers believe that focusing on energy storage will be a crucial lever for keeping pace with the rapid expansion of solar and wind energy projects, ensuring supply stability and strengthening Morocco’s position as a regional player in renewable energies.
