The Government of Morocco seeks to increase the security of the energy supply by reducing dependence on imports, including increasing the use of renewable sources for electricity production. As of the end of 2023, the share of renewable energy in the electrical capacity mix stood 11.42 GW (ANRE data).
However, energy eficiency is specifically regulated by Law 47-09 on energy eficiency. Devices and equipment commercialised in Morocco using electricity, natural gas, gaseous or liquid oil products, coal and renewable energies must comply with minimum energy performance requirements.
T 0: after 2009 national energy strategy until 2023 The National Energy Strategy (NES), a strategic plan for energy transition in Morocco, was established in 2009 with ambitious objectives, aiming to diversify the energy mix and promote the development of renewable energy, and reduce the use of fossil fuels.
The two major weaknesses of the energy policy of Morocco are the lack of coordination between these two agencies and the lack of development of domestic energy sources. The country has some hydrocarbon reserves, mostly in natural gas reserves that have been exploited. Currently, most energy is produced through hydrocarbon thermal plants.
Despite significant progress, including 38 % renewable energy by 2022, challenges remain, such as top-down policies and limited stakeholder engagement. The paper underscores the

Morocco is gradually integrating its electrical grid with those of its neighbors in Africa and Europe. Maghreb integration has been spearheaded by the Maghreb Electricity Committee, with physical integration initiatives that began in the 1990s. In May 2003, Moroccan representatives met with the energy ministers from other European and Mediterranean countries to discuss the feasibility of electricity market integration. In December 2005, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and the European U
