Morocco is rapidly developing its energy portfolio in the southern provinces

Morocco is dedicating considerable efforts to the expansion of its energy portfolio its Southern Provinces. While the electrical capacity in 1975 did not exceed 7 megawatts, it now reaches more than 1700 MW, of which more than 1300 MW comes from renewable energy sources.

Investment in the Southern Provinces of Morocco has been significant. More than 3 billion dollars have been invested in the water, electricity and liquid purification sectors in the three regions of the Moroccan Sahara, since their return to the mother country in 1975.

Owing to the efforts made in this field, these Provinces currently have a total operational capacity from wind energy of 760.64 MW, i.e. 53.2% of the total installed capacity in wind energy in Morocco (1430 MW), while a capacity of 1153.5 MW is in the process of being built, i.e. 54.8% of the total capacity under development in wind energy in Morocco (2104 MW).
