In the framework of the MSP, Morocco has completed one of the largest solar complexes in the world, aiming to contribute to meeting domestic and European green energy demands. The Noor Ouarzazate complex extends over 6000 acres and consists of four power plants, each using different technologies.
RE sources only represented 19% of the overall electricity production. The barriers to the development of solar energy in Morocco can be overcome by improving institutional and regulatory frameworks, including those related to low-voltage grid access, and completing the liberalization of the renewable electricity sector.
The country is targeting 52 percent renewables by 2030 and 70 percent by 2050, which seems a realistic target to achieve. Morocco has launched one of the world's largest and most ambitious solar energy plan. The Moroccan Solar Plan is regarded as a milestone on the country's path towards a secure and sustainable energy supply.
According to IRENA's “Renewable Capacity Statistics” report, the global installed capacity of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems by the end of 2023 reached approximately 6876 MW, with Morocco accounting for nearly 20% of this total. Morocco is the leading country in Africa in terms of CSP capacity, followed by South Africa with 500 MW.
Riyadh-based energy company Acwa Power will develop Morocco''s Noor Midelt II and Noor Midelt III solar-plus-storage projects. Together, they have a combined solar capacity of 800 MW
