The Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN) will be a key player in spearheading the country’s quest for renewable power, officials say. In recent years, Morocco’s renewable energy sector has been on an upward trajectory. The latest bill which was approved by government council last week is expected to boost the country’s renewable energy.
Masen says they their success story emanates from solar power. However, they are looking into wind energy whose demand is increasing. ADEM is the new body expected to take responsibility for all projects relating to electricity generation. It will also be in charge of renewable resources including planning, conducting feasibility studies development and construction. It will also oversee financing, operation and maintenance.
This will help in streamlining the energy sector of Morocco. The Moroccan agency for development of renewable energy and energy efficiency ADEREE will concentrate on the energy efficiency sector. Morocco’s renewable energy sector is currently leading in Africa.
