The country is faced with the challenging task of meeting rising RY 2015 RY local demand while keeping its import bill under control. A Against this backdrop, Morocco is pursuing an ambitious, cost- effective energy transition aimed at endowing the country with a sustainable, competitive and secure energy sector. This paper assesses the achievements and constraints facing the Moroccan energy system with a focus on the power sector, which is responsible for the transformation or production of more than half of the country’s primary energy. It also dwells ERs 15 | 05 - FebrU ERs on existing policies aimed at integrating the Moroccan energy AP market into the regional and Euro-Mediterranean energy systems by exploiting its strategic position at the crossroads NG P I between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

MEDRESET Working Papers No. 32, December 2018 Assessing EU–Mediterranean Policies in the Field of Energy from a Bottom-Up Perspective: The Case of Morocco Margherita Bianchi, Lorenzo Colantoni, Federico Mascolo and Nicolò Sartori1 Abstract The purpose of this report is to evaluate the effectiveness of EU policies and measures in the energy field in light of the needs and interests of local bottom-up actors in Morocco. The report firstly provides an overview of the Moroccan energy sector. It reviews the most relevant literature to define current and future trends, to identify the major challenges, analyse current national energy policies and assess their social impacts; then it describes the framework of EU energy policies in Morocco. In the second part, the report discusses the needs and interests of local bottom-up actors in the energy field mainly drawing on the recursive multi-stakeholder consultations held by the researchers in the field. In line with MEDRESET research questions, it highlights the most relevant issues brought up by the local respondents and a few EU stakeholders, evaluating their perception of current Moroccan and EU energy policies in the country and reporting their suggestions for improvements. Introduction According to the latest World Energy Council’s Energy Trilemma Index Tool,2 Morocco ranks 68th.
