The government has set itself the Following the energy strategy, the government also launched some immediate measuresRegarding the supporting policies public tendering of large-scale wind and solar power projects constitutes the main mechanisms. Morocco aims to add 10 GW renewable energy capacity by 2030, consisting of 4,560 MW of solar, 4,200 MW of wind, and 1,330 MW of hydropower capacity.Morocco has set a goal to have 2 GW production capacity from wind power; it is part of the Moroccan Integrated Wind Energy Project which began in 2010.As of 2016, Morocco has eight wind farms (Torres, Amogdoul, Lafarge, Akhfennir, Laayue, Tangier I, Cimar, and Haouma) with the total operational capacity of 487 MW; another six wind farms are anticipated to be installed by 2020 with a total capacity of 1,000 MW.The biggest CSP project in Morocco is Noor Solar, situated in city Ouarzazate, on the edge of the Sahara desert.
All have ended their operations in Western Sahara, with the exception of Kerr-McGee. Power consumption. In 1996, ONE launched a national electrification programme named Electricity tariffs for final consumers (residential and professional) are fixed by decree from the prime minister. With 350,000 m2 installed in 2013, the government seeks to reach 1.7 million m2 by 2020. Besides its western and northern coasts towards the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, it has a border with Algeria in the east, and claims the territory of Western Sahara as its Southern Provinces. This is a slight reduction compared to 2012 (106.6 bn MAD) but a very high increase as compared to 2002 (19.1 bn MAD). Electricity consumption grew rapidly between 2000 and 2012 with the implementation of the electrification program (6.5%/year, on average). Morocco produced 35 percent of its electricity mix from renewable energy sources in 2018 and has a plan to reach 52 percent by 2030. Morocco could provide itself completely with self-produced energy. The country's annual electricity consumption reached 33.5 terawatt-hours in 2014.
Africas biggest concentrated solar power plant of 160 MW parabolic trough technology is scheduled to go online as the first plant in the MSP (see below). the highest price range reached in a given month.Professional tariffs are differentiated in a similar way to residential tariffs for low voltage connections, while different tariffs in the medium-voltage level are differentiated according to the time of day and season, ranging from 0.61 MAD per kWh to 1.33 MAD per kWh.Rural customers have the possibility to participate in a prepaid system based on pre-paid meters. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.It comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products.Customers will be split into eligible and non-eligible customers, depending on a threshold based on annual consumption. However, Rabbah said that energy demand has been continuously growing over the last ten years at an annual rate of 4 percent.The national energy strategy, which focuses on developing renewable energy sources, will help meet the constraints of growing internal energy demand and reduce the country’s external energy dependence.Morocco’s main energy consumers are the transport sector at 38 percent, followed by the construction sector at 33 percent, and the industrial sector at 21 percent, the minister said.Morocco’s overall consumption of primary energy amounted to 20.8 million tons in 2017, including oil (56 percent) and coal (26 percent).The Government Council reviewed the project in June 2017.The first phase of the study of the energy efficiency project in public administrations and buildings is expected to be completed this year. In May 2004, China Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) received a license to drill near Agadir.
In April 2004, Norway's Norsk Hydro signed a 12-month exploration contract for the Safi Offshore Northwest zone, while Denmark's Maersk signed an eight-year agreement for eight blocks near Tarfaya. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. However, its main policy highlight is in The Moroccan Office of Hydrocarbons and Mining (ONHYM) has become optimistic about finding additional reserves – particularly offshore – following discoveries in neighboring Mauritania. The Hassen II fund contributes with 200 million, 300 millions are endorsed by UAE and 500 million by Saudi-Arabia. These companies include Total, Wessex Exploration, Svitzer (the British subsidiary of the Dutch company Fugro), Wales' Robertson Research International and Norway's TGS Nopec.
