The International Energy Agency (IEA) regularly conducts in-depth peer reviews of
the energy policies of its association countries, a process that supports energy policy
development and encourages the exchange of international best practices and experiences.
This report on Morocco discusses the advancements made as well as the challenges faced
by the country’s ambitious domestic energy transition pathway to 2030.With an impressive
track record in solar technologies, Morocco is leading the deployment of renewable
energy in North Africa. Further progress, however, can be made in commercial or industrial
applications that continue to rely on fossil fuel imports. Although successful in
providing electricity access to its rising population, Morocco also faces the challenging
task of keeping energy demand in check. In this report, the IEA provides recommendations
for how to strengthen Morocco’s energy efficiency policies to help the country continue
to transform its energy sectors in order to meet the renewable energy and energy efficiency
targets.
