Morocco's Renewable Energy Share To Exceed 46% By 2025

Morocco's Renewable Energy Share to Exceed 46% by 2025; $12 Billion Investment in Grid Upgrades and Project Expansion

 

Morocco's renewable energy share in its national electricity mix has exceeded 46% by 2025, marking a significant step closer to its 2030 target of 52%. This rapid expansion not only reflects progress in renewable generation but also highlights the growing importance of battery storage for renewables and large scale power storage to ensure grid stability as clean energy penetration increases.

 

Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Lila Bennali, announced the remarkable achievements in renewable energy since the start of the current government's term, confirming that the Kingdom has entered a new phase of accelerated energy transition through strengthened infrastructure, legislation, and investments in battery storage utility scale solutions. These developments are essential to balance intermittent solar and wind power while supporting long-term energy security.

 

 

 

In her oral response to a question from the Advisory Council on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Bennali revealed that Morocco has recently added over 1,700 megawatts of renewable energy. She clarified that, according to data from a specialized energy platform, Morocco's current total installed capacity is approximately 12 gigawatts, of which renewable energy accounts for 5.6 gigawatts. This growth is driving parallel demand for advanced batteries and energy storage systems, ranging from grid-scale installations to house energy storage solutions that support distributed energy use.

 

This progress increases the share of renewable energy in the Kingdom's electricity mix to over 9%, and the total contribution of clean energy will exceed 46% by 2025. Professional platforms estimate that this proportion could reach approximately 50% by 2028, while the Ministry of Energy Transition plans to achieve around 52% by 2030 by accelerating grid connections and deploying integrated storage technologies. Companies such as BLOOPOWER are increasingly seen as key partners in delivering reliable energy storage systems that support both utility-scale and residential applications.

 

The ministry has already issued licenses for more than 57 new projects, with a total capacity of nearly 3 gigawatts and an investment exceeding US$3.4 billion. Bennali noted that 2023 was a "critical year," with Morocco's annual renewable energy investment rate more than tripling and grid investment increasing fivefold to enhance grid absorption capacity and support future large scale power storage deployment.

 

She outlined the recently approved Moroccan power sector plan (2023–2027), which aims to add 15 gigawatts of generating capacity within five years, of which 12.4 gigawatts will come from renewable energy, accounting for approximately 80% of new capacity. The Kingdom has allocated US$12 billion to implement this plan, aiming to increase average annual grid investment fivefold and establish a resilient energy ecosystem where renewable generation, battery storage utility scale systems, and decentralized house energy storage work together to achieve long-term energy security.
