General description of project activity A.1 Title of the project activity: Photovoltaic kits to light up rural households in Morocco 101,500 PV Solar home systems for rural electrification in Morocco A.2 Description of the project activity: Description and purpose of the project The purpose of the project activity is to provide 101,500 rural households in all regions of Morocco with photovoltaic kits to enable them to meet their basic energy needs. Therefore, the project involves 101,500 households to be equipped with individual PV kits along with the basic installation for domestic electricity use (bulbs, plugs), during the period 2004 to 2008. Each PV kit 1 will have an average capacity of 75,7 Wp (Watt peak) , adding up to a total installed capacity of around 7,7 MW. Each PV kit will have an average energy production of 0.45 kWh per day (assuming a full productivity of the system for 6 hours per day, given that daily solar radiation lasts for far longer and a consumption/production ratio of 80%). -

Morocco's commitment to RES However, the trend is not sustainable in the long term, in particular for net energy- Solar energy in Morocco importing countries such as Morocco. In order EU-Morocco cooperation in solar RE to ensure the security of energy supply and an energy mix less dependent on hydrocarbons Solar energy, local SMEs and industry they have focused on renewable energy Main references sources (RES) – solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, etc. Glossary Morocco is a pioneer among MENA countries Primary energy: Energy in the form in which it in establishing a policy and regulatory is first accounted for in a statistical energy framework for promoting RES and energy balance, before any transformation to secondary efficiency. Morocco benefits from great solar or tertiary forms of energy. and wind energy potential, as well as from a Installed capacity: The maximum capacity at key geographical location. Two major RES which a system is designed to run. initiatives – the Moroccan wind and solar projects – have been launched in order to Issue definition reach the national target of increasing the share of RES in the energy mix to 42% by 2020.

Choukri et al. Energy, Sustainability and Society (2017) 7:25 Energy, Sustainability DOI 10.1186/s13705-017-0131-2 and Society REVIEW Open Access Renewable energy in emergent countries: lessons from energy transition in Morocco Karim Choukri*, Ahmed Naddami and Sanaa Hayani Abstract Morocco, which has no conventional energy resources, depends entirely on the international primary energy market to satisfy its growing demand due to its economic growth and demographic progression. The country imports the majority of its energy source supply. Morocco has implemented an important energy strategy that supports the country’s transition to renewable energy and energy efficiency that generalizes across all consumer sectors of the economy (housing, transport, industry). To fulfill this energy transition, the liberalization of renewable energy market was adopted and financial mechanisms have been created to stimulate private sector involvement and to facilitate the implementation of the public–private partnership. The government and public institutions that were created to accompany Morocco’s energy vision have committed to drive the development of projects in the priority areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency, but the country still needs to deal with many barriers related to the policy, financial, and technical frameworks. Keywords: Energy policy, Renewable energy, Energy strategy, Clean development, Energy market Background the increase in per capita energy consumption. This Morocco’s energy strategy has been developed in increase in consumption was also due to consistent response to climate change, specifically that caused by investments in electrification projects, which allowed the the activities of the energy sector. Indeed, it is based on country to reach a 99.5% electricity access rate in 2015 the mobilization of Morocco’s own national resources, the (which is impressive growth considering that the rural rise of renewables in the energy mix, and the introduction electrification level was only at 18% in 1995) [5]. -
