Electricity storage in Morocco falls within the scope of competence of the Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment. ONEE is in charge of the production, the transmission and the distribution of electricity.
Electricity storage is not separately defined in the Moroccan legislative framework. The rules concerning the issue of energy storage are to be found in the law applicable to the production of electricity.
The first large-scale electricity storage project in Morocco is the 460 MW Afourer Pumped Storage Power Station ( PETS ), commissioned in 2004. It consists of a hydraulic system composed of two 1.3 million-m 3 water reservoirs connected by a pipeline with two hydroelectric production units between the basins.
Security of supply also remains one of the major challenges of the Moroccan energy model, which it is attempting to address through the diversification of its energy resources. Morocco's primary energy demand and electricity demand will both be expected to double by 2030.
Beyond the advancement of renewable energy, Morocco’s policy initiatives encompass energy efficiency measures in challenging-to-abate sectors, such as building insulation and the adoption of energy-saving light bulbs. The overarching objective is to achieve a 20% reduction in overall energy consumption by 2030.
Morocco's electricity consumption in TWh . In 2018, Morocco installed 34% of renewable energy (i.e. 3,700 MW), divided as follows: 1,770 MW, 1,220 MW and 711 MW respectively originate from hydroelectricity, wind power and solar energy .
