Summary:

On 3 November 2025, the Moroccan government signed a strategic agreement with the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), and the National Agency for Strategic State Participation Management (ANGSPE) to produce 5,000 megawatts (5 GW) of renewable electricity by 2030.

Announced during a ceremony chaired by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, the framework aims to accelerate clean energy investment and strengthen coordination among public bodies overseeing Morocco’s energy transition.

Prime Minister Akhannouch highlighted that renewable sources currently account for 46 percent of Morocco’s installed power capacity, a share expected to exceed 52 percent by the end of the decade, in line with national climate and energy targets.

Outlook: 

The agreement reflects Morocco’s determination to move from fragmented renewable initiatives toward a unified, long-term energy strategy. By creating a joint operational framework uniting its primary energy agencies, the government is signaling a more centralized and accountable model for managing large-scale clean energy projects.

The government is signaling a more centralized and accountable model for managing large-scale clean energy projects, an approach likely to reduce delays and reinforce investor trust.

Beyond governance reform, the plan strengthens Morocco’s bid to anchor its industrial growth in low-cost renewable power. It could make local industries more competitive, attract export-oriented manufacturing, and support emerging sectors such as green hydrogen and battery storage. The deal also positions Morocco to deepen regional energy cooperation with Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, enhancing its geopolitical influence as a stable green energy hub in the southern Mediterranean.
