NEW STRATEGY TO
ADDRESS THESE
CHALENGES
Diversify and optimize the energy mix around
reliable and competitive energy technologies
in order to reduce the share of oil from 63% in
2009 to around 40% by 2030
Reduce dependancy on energy imports by
developing domestic energy sources,
mainly by developing renewable energy
Make energy efficiency a national priority
Preserve the environment
Integrate into the regional energy market
through enhanced cooperation and trade with
both arab countries and the EU countries
(Advanced statute)
THE NEW STRATEGY FOR
RE & EE: AN INTEGRATED
APPROACH
CLEAR RENEWABLE ENERGY
OBJECTIVES for Medium & Long terms
 2 integrated programs: 2000 MW
solar & 2000 MW wind to implement
at 2020
CLEAR ENERGY EFFICIENCY OBJECTIVES
for Medium & Long terms  Energy
Efficiency as a national priority
SOUND LEGAL, INSTITUTIONAL AND
REGULATOTY FRAMEWORK
AMBITIOUS: LOCAL INDUSTRY
SUPPORT BY SOUND R&D
PROGRAMS ,TRAINING AND
CAPACITY BUILDING
SUPPORT OF THE POLICIES BY SOUND LEGAL AND
INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
NEW
LAW
FOR
RENEWABLE
ENERGY
Objectives
Increase the share of Renewable Energies
Promoting Investment for Export
Assistance in site selections, permits and
authorization
Access to National Grid and Interconnections
Access to Regional Markets (OMEL, MIBEL,
POWERNEXT,…)
Possible Equity partnership
Promoting Investment in the field of Renewable
Energies to meet local demand
MOROCCAN AGENCY FOR SOLAR
ENERGY
 Conduct overall project (design, choice of operators,
implementation, management ....)
 Coordinate and supervise others activities related to this
program
NEW AGENCY FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF
RENEWABLE ENERGY AND
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
 Law to be enacted soon
 Objective: development of renewable
energies and Promotion of energy efficiency.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Law under promulgation
Improve energy efficiency
DEVELOPMENT ENERGY FUND
2 ways actions :
Financial incentives for RE and EE
programs
Equity investments through the Energy

INTEGRATED WIND PLAN

IMPLEMENTATION OF 2 000 MW AT THE HORIZON 2020

ESTIMATED ANNUAL PRODUCTION: 6600 GWh

ESTIMATED COST: 31,5 billions DHS (3,5 billions Dollars)

5 selected sites : Sendouk (Tanger), Koudia Baida II
(Tétouan), Taza (Taza), Tiskrad (Laâyoune), Boujdour
(Boujdour)

This plan will allow :
•
•


Saving 1,5 millions of TOE,
Avoiding the emission of 5,6 millions tons of CO2 per year
The first wind park within this plan will be
commissioned on 2014
The plan refers to the development of domestic wind
industry

MOROCCAN SOLAR PROJECT
An investment of 9 billion USD by 2019
• Installed Capacity : 2000 MW
• 4500 GWh per year
• 9 billion USD
• 10 000 hectares dedicated
•5 dedicated sites
• First plant : Ouarzazate - 2015

MOROCCAN SOLAR PROJECT
NATIONAL DECISION TO BET ON THE RE FUTUR
• GLOBAL AND INGTEGRATED PROJECT
• SUPPORT OF THE HIGH LEVEL AUTHORITY
• CLEAR POLITICAL SIGNAL FOR DEVELOPING RE AND SOLAR IN PARTICULAR
• ANTICIPATE INTERNATIONAL MARKET
• SOLAR ENERGY, A CRUCIAL STAKE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHOICE OF
DEVELOPING SUSTAINBLY
• AVOIDED EMISSIONS: 3,7 millions tons of CO2 per year.

SOLAR PLAN: INTEGRATED PROJECT WITH
SECTORIAL SYNERGIES

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
o Social and economical benefits for the regions where sites are located


Specialized training and capacity building:
o
Specific modules in schools of engineering;
o
Specialized techniciens in solar energy by professional Institutes
R & D:
o

A key to replicate and improve futur projects
Industrial development and integration:
o
Know how development;
o
Development of an industrial tissue specialized in solar field.

A SPECIFIC COMPAGNY DEDICATED TO THE
PROJECT
 A dedicated society has been created on Feb.
2010: Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy
(MASEN)
o
Ensure the supervision of the whole (conception,
studies, operators selection, supervision of the
execution ….)
 Agency with public funds:

STEPS TOWARDS THE REALIZATION
 First site: Ouarzazate;
 Following the invitation for Expression of Interest
issued on march 2010, MASEN has launched the
pre-qualification process for the development of
the 1st phase of the Ouarzazate solar power
plant.
o
1st stage: 1 or more thermal solar plants with
minimum capacity of 125 MW2014
o
Subsequent stages will be launched by the end of
2012
 Selection of the developpers of the 1st stage on
April 2011
 Financial closure by the end of 2011
 Starting the construction: second semester of
2011

CONCLUSION
• Morocco has adopted an integrated approach for developing
RE & EE based on clear objectives, plans for medium and long
terms .
• Private sector will play an important role in realizing these
projects especially solar plan: more visibility
and
opportunities of investments.
• The ambitious is to develop local industries and companies.
• The government has implemented sound legal, institutional
and regulatory frameworks. Some details of this regulation are
under finalization for some specific aspects.
• Support to develop R&D and know how related to RE & EE.
