Morocco is establishing itself as a central player in the global energy transition. With a renewable energy potential sufficient to cover up to half of the electrical needs of the European Union, the Kingdom is attracting investors and strategic projects while integrating this dynamic into a comprehensive vision for sustainable industrial, water, and economic development.
According to Finances News Hebdo, the country currently has resources capable of producing between 1,600 and 1,700 TWh of electricity, which is nearly half of the 3,000 TWh consumed annually by the EU. This potential derives from both solar and wind energy, including onshore and offshore sources. “Morocco can offer this energy at competitive prices,” emphasized Ryad Mezzour, Minister of Industry and Trade, in an interview with the Italian daily La Verità.
Beyond green electricity, the Kingdom is focusing on green hydrogen with its initiative “Morocco Offer,” which has already attracted over 40 international investment proposals. Investors are looking to identify the sunniest and windiest areas to secure their projects, reinforcing the country’s strategic position in the future of global energy.
The energy transition is accompanied by a policy for managing water resources. Morocco plans to secure its water supply by 2028-2030, regardless of rainfall, through desalination systems, inter-basin transfers, and water reuse, ensuring 100% of drinking water needs and 80% of agricultural supply.
Industrially, the country, lacking oil and gas, benefits from a rare advantage: renewable energy that is cheaper than fossil fuels. This situation encourages the conversion of production units to greener models. The government is also leveraging the “Made in Morocco” label to enhance the visibility of national products internationally while developing competitive logistics, which is key to industrial attractiveness and cost management.
From energy to water, through industry and logistics, Morocco is deploying an integrated vision aimed at transforming its natural resources and geographical position into a strategic hub between Europe and Africa, balancing sustainable development, economic attractiveness, and openness to global markets.
