Morocco continues its energy transformation by strengthening its National Electricity Regulatory Authority (ANRE), elevating it to become a broader, more powerful regulatory body. The reform to make ANRE a “super-regulator” reflects a clear commitment to establishing an independent institutional framework to fulfill the global energy transition and overcome challenges.
The initiative includes electricity, natural gas, green hydrogen, and renewable energy, aligning with Morocco’s 2023 sustainability goals. By adopting the most advanced international standards, the Kingdom enhances its attractiveness to investors while asserting its energy sovereignty.
Thanks to its bold energy policy, Morocco already achieved 45% of its electricity mix from renewable sources in 2024, surpassing its initial 2030 forecasts. The revised goal is now to reach 56% by 2027. The transition is accompanied by an energy diversification strategy, incorporating key sectors such as natural gas and green hydrogen—critical drivers for competitiveness and sustainability.
Investments in clean energy have quadrupled, reaching MAD 15 billion annually between 2024 and 2027, reflecting a sustained development momentum. The installed renewable energy capacity, currently at 4,600 MW, is projected to increase by an additional 3,000 MW by 2030.
Morocco, the only African country connected to the European energy grid, is positioning itself as a strategic energy corridor linking Europe, Africa, and the Atlantic Basin. The Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline project and enhanced interconnection infrastructure aim to strengthen Morocco’s role as a regional and global energy hub.
With its exceptional renewable resource potential and competitive production costs, Morocco is ranked among the top three global leaders in the green hydrogen sector, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Ranked first in renewable energy investment attractiveness in Africa by the Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index, Bloomberg also recognized Morocco as one of the five major global energy connectors.
By redefining the role of ANRE, Morocco is laying the groundwork for exemplary energy governance. The move strengthens Morocco’s position among the leading actors in the global energy transition.
