Green energy: Morocco and the EU set a new course

Morocco and the European Union have launched a partnership with Green to further strengthen their cooperation in the field of green energy. This cooperation is part of a dynamic of the energy transition for the two countries to a more green and sustainable economy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

The partnership between Morocco and the European Union is founded on the shared vision of a greener economy and sustainability. It aims to strengthen the cooperation between the two parties in various areas related to green energy, such as renewable energy production, energy efficiency, energy storage, and smart grids. This partnership builds on the commitments made by Morocco in the framework of its national energy strategy, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy to 52% of the installed power capacity by 2030. The European Union, for its part, has set the ambitious target of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, which requires a rapid transition to cleaner energy sources and more sustainable.

Exchanges of good practices for enhanced cooperation

The collaboration between Morocco and the EU in the field of green energy is already well underway, with the implementation of various projects for the production of renewable energy. Among the projects already underway is the construction of a solar power plant of 800 MW in the town of Midelt. This plant is expected to produce electricity from solar panels and thus reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels.

In addition, this green partnership is also intended to encourage energy efficiency in buildings, transport, and industry, which would significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Smart grids, also called smart grids, help to optimize the management of energy in real-time; integrating energy sources may be intermittent, such as solar and wind energy. The partnership Green should also help spur innovation in the field of green energy by promoting research and development of new technologies. The two parties will share their knowledge and expertise in the field of green energy, which would allow them to accelerate the energy transition.

Positive impacts on the environment and the economy

The collaboration between Morocco and the European Union in the field of green energy is expected to have positive impacts both on the environment and on the economy. In fact, the reduction of dependence on fossil fuels is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus contribute to the fight against climate change. In addition, the development of green energy is expected to create jobs in the areas of production, distribution, and maintenance of equipment for the production of green energy.

Finally, the partnership between Morocco and the European Union represents an important step in the fight against climate change and the transition to a greener economy and sustainability. This partnership offers significant opportunities to strengthen the cooperation between Morocco and the European Union by sharing the knowledge and skills necessary to overcome the challenges of the energy transition.
