Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.

Highlights

  • In 2030, the country aims to reduce its energy consumption by 15%, compared with a BaU scenario, and to reach 52% of renewables in its power capacity.
  • ONEE holds around half of the power capacity.
  • An increasing share of the electricity production is provided by IPPs.
  • Since 2015, Morocco has added 2.8 GW of capacity, mainly from coal and renewables.
  • Imports cover 100% of oil and coal consumption and almost 90% of gas consumption.
  • Motor fuel prices increased by around 20% in 2021, following international oil prices.
  • Morocco aims to limit the influence of global oil prices on its budget.
  • The growth in energy consumption slowed down between 2010 and 2019 and dropped by 7% in 2020. It is dominated by oil products (55%).
  • The country plans to install more than 10 GW of renewables by 2030.
  • Two LNG imports terminals are planned with a total capacity of 10 bcm in 2030.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Sustainable Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development (MTEDD) plays a central role in the implementation and coordination of the energy policy. It promotes the energy savings policy, as well as the development of new energies and renewables. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the taxation and financing of projects.

  • Energy Supply

    Oil:

    The national production of hydrocarbons is low. All the oil products are imported since the shutdown of the sole refinery of the country in 2015 (200 000 bbl/d). Oil product imports increased rapidly from 2015 to 2019 (+6%/year) and decreased by 12% in 2020 due to the COVID crisis.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Until 2013, wholesale and retail margins were fixed by the government.

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita energy consumption is 0.56 toe (around 42% below the North Africa average), including around 900 kWh of electricity (38% below the regional average) (2020).

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the MEME (now MTEDD), the country's energy needs will more than triple by 2030. Morocco aims to cover 42% of its power capacity with renewable energy sources by 2020, and 52% in 2030. In its new Low Carbon Development Strategy for 2050, Morocco aims to generate 70% of its electricity from renewables in 2040 and 80% in 2050.

The Morocco energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Morocco country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Morocco Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Morocco energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
