Morocco has taken a new step in implementing its national green hydrogen strategy. On Thursday, February 5, 2026, in Rabat, the Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, signed preliminary land reservation contracts with new national and international investors, paving the way for the concrete launch of large-scale projects in the southern provinces of the Kingdom.
This meeting, attended by Tarik Moufaddal, General Director of MASEN, officially marked the selection of five strategic projects whose dossiers were validated by the steering committee. The selected investors will benefit from public land reserved for the deployment of integrated infrastructures covering the entire green hydrogen value chain.
Beyond their energy dimension, these projects align with the vision of energy sovereignty supported by royal directives. On this occasion, Aziz Akhannouch emphasized that this initiative represents a “decisive turning point” for the country, based on harnessing abundant natural resources, particularly solar and wind, and on developing national skills capable of accompanying this industrial transformation.
The government highlights a selection methodology deemed scientific and transparent. This aims to ensure that the chosen projects have a structural character, both in terms of production capacity and industrial integration, and that they genuinely contribute to the goals of energy profitability and value creation. Monitoring mechanisms are also planned to ensure that the reserved public land is utilized optimally and in accordance with contractual commitments.
This advancement is part of the “Morocco Offer,” a framework designed to establish the Kingdom as a benchmark destination for investments in clean energy. By proposing an attractive and secure framework, the authorities seek to attract global leaders in the sector and build balanced partnerships capable of making Morocco a major exporter of decarbonized energy, particularly to the European market.
With the signing of these preliminary contracts, Morocco is moving from a phase of strategic planning to an operational phase. For investors, the Kingdom appears as a stable and competitive energy hub. For the country, these projects represent a lever for sustainable industrial growth, at the crossroads of energy transition, economic sovereignty, and green diplomacy.
