Morocco is accelerating its renewable energy expansion, targeting 52% of installed electricity capacity from renewables by 2030, up from around 40% currently. The country has launched several new solar and wind projects to meet this goal, including the Noor Midelt solar complex and additional wind farms in the north.
According to the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), the Noor Midelt I plant, a hybrid concentrated solar power and photovoltaic facility, began operations in early 2026 with a capacity of 800 MW. This is part of a broader plan to add 4.5 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.
Wind energy is also growing, with the 300 MW Taza wind farm coming online in 2025 and the 200 MW extension of the Tarfaya wind farm expected by 2027. Morocco currently has over 2 GW of installed wind capacity.
The expansion supports Morocco's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030 and positions the country as a regional leader in green energy, with potential for exporting electricity to Europe via undersea cables.
