A new milestone has been reached in the energy strategy of the Kingdom. On Monday, November 3, in Rabat, the Moroccan government, the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), Masen, and the National Agency for Strategic State Participation Management (ANGSPE) signed a major agreement aimed at producing up to 5 gigawatts of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. This agreement marks a decisive step towards energy sovereignty and the green industrialization of the country.
A Strategic Pact for the Energy Future
This partnership falls under the National Renewable Energy Program (PNER) and reflects Morocco’s desire to strengthen its position among regional leaders in energy transition. The goal is to produce clean, competitive, and readily available electricity to support national industrial development.
The signatories — 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) — commit to developing integrated projects while ensuring their contractual and economic stability. A strengthened complementarity among public sector players is central to the agreement.
5 GW for Sustainable Energy Sovereignty
By aiming for 5 gigawatts of green electricity by 2030, Morocco reaffirms its ambition to reduce its dependence on energy imports and to manage costs across the entire value chain. Renewable energy already accounts for 46% of the country’s installed capacity, a figure that is expected to exceed 52% by 2030, according to the objectives set forth by the Royal High Directions.
Unprecedented Institutional Synergy
The agreement was signed by the Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah, the Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Leila Benali, the Minister Delegate in Charge of the Budget, Fouzi Lekjaa, along with the leaders of ONEE, Masen, and ANGSPE.
This alliance illustrates a coordinated governance of the sector, based on efficiency, sustainability, and strategic convergence.
Morocco, a Regional Motor for Green Transition
With this agreement, the Kingdom strengthens its position as a pioneering African player in renewable energy, bolstered by its exceptional solar and wind potential.
This new institutional momentum paves the way for a sustainable, inclusive, and sovereign energy transition that can support Morocco’s growth, employment, and industrial competitiveness in the coming decade.
