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 20
Solar Energy in Morocco
Thus, currently, this type of clean energy plays an integral role for the country, and is expected to become an increasingly important source of renewable energy in future years. Solar energy currently represents roughly 7% of Morocco''s total energy production capacity at 831 MW, with plans in place to increase this number to 20% by 2030.

This map shows all of the solar energy plants throughout Morocco. This map allows for the visualization of the solar plants beyond the two main ones. It breaks up the two plants based on who is in charge of them, MASEN which is the Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy, and ONEE which is the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water.
