Morocco has an average solar potential of five kilowatt hours (kWh) per square meter per day, although this varies geographically. Total installed capacity from solar energy currently stands at 831 MW. According to the Ministry of Energy Transition, and Sustainable Development, Morocco could potentially generate 25,000 MW of wind power.
Thanks to its high solar potential, it is predictable that Morocco's effort will be focused on this field: the Erasmus plus INNOMED project is a virtuous example of international cooperation, aiming at promoting solar energy through capacity building and the creation of solar energy networks, in synergy with EU Partners. 1. Introduction
Additionally, microgrids equipped with energy storage systems ensure power reliability during renewable intermittency, a critical feature for Morocco's high-solar-irradiation zones such as Marrakech and Agadir, where irradiation levels exceed 5.5 kWh/m 2 /day [131, 279].
The power institutions in Morocco operate under a structured legal and regulatory system, which primarily governs two critical components: power generation and power transmission. Policies under power generation aim to incentivize the production of clean and sustainable energy through clear mandates, financial frameworks, and supportive laws.
An overview of the current situation of RE (particularly solar energy) in Morocco is provided, including the potentials, obstacles, challenges, and future perspectives.

Solar power in Morocco is enabled by the country having one of the highest rates of solar insolation among other countries— about 3,000 hours per year of sunshine but up to 3,600 hours in the desert. Morocco has launched one of the world''s largest solar energy projects costing an estimated $9 billion. The aim of the project was to create 2,000 megawatts of solar generation capacity by 2020.
