  • Government, ONEE, MASEN, and ANGSPE sign pact to align energy efforts
  • Agreement targets 5 GW of green power for industry by 2030
  • Renewables expected to supply over 52% of installed capacity by 2030

Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch presided on November 3 over the signing of an agreement between the government, the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), and the National Agency for Strategic Management of State Holdings and Performance Monitoring of Public Enterprises (ANGSPE). The deal aims to strengthen coordination among public institutions to speed up renewable electricity production.

The convention provides for the supply of 5 GW of green electricity to Moroccan industry by 2030. It forms part of the National Renewable Energy Program and the State Participation Policy, which promotes unified sector governance and a clear division of responsibilities between ONEE and MASEN.

MASEN focuses on three main areas: integrated renewable project development, building national expertise, and sustainable territorial development. ONEE handles electricity production, transmission, and management, while ANGSPE, represented on MASEN’s board, ensures strategic coordination and oversight of public enterprise performance. Together, these institutions form the backbone of Morocco’s national energy governance.

By 2024, Morocco had installed 2,433 MW of wind capacity and 885 MW of solar capacity. These projects have supported strong industrial growth. According to the Industry Ministry’s 2025 barometer, the sector’s value added rose 11% in 2024, while industrial investment increased 30% to 90 billion dirhams (about $10 million).

The Moroccan Agency for Energy Efficiency (AMEE) reports that industry accounts for more than 22% of national energy use, with 70% coming from petroleum products. This underscores the need for the sector—central to economic growth—to adapt its energy consumption and contribute to Morocco’s goal of deriving over 52% of installed energy capacity from renewables by 2030.
