Overview of Electricity Sector in Morocco
4
Energy Sector in Morocco in 2008

• In Morocco, conventional energy resources are
  limited, the country depends almost totally from
  the outside for its energy supply (97 )
• 71 Milliards DH for imports of energy products in
  2008 (6.2 Milliards Euro)
• Annual average consumption growth of electricity
  8
• Capacity of Power Plant to install each year
  400-500 MW
• Total Power plant 5312 MW
• - Thermal Power plant 3469 MW
• - Hydraulic Power plant 1729 MW
• - Wind Farms 134 MW

Generation of Electricity in Morocco

• Electricity Consumption 22608 GWh (2007)
• Electricity Production 19101 GWh (2007)
• National Utility of
• Electricity (ONE) 6047.5
  GWh (26.74 )
• Private Producers (BOT) 13021.6 GWh
  (57.60 )
• - JLEC (1360 MW-Coal)
• - Tahaddart (384 MW-Gas)
• - CED (50 MW-Wind)
• Self-producers (Industrials) 32.5 GWh
  (0.14 )
• Import (Spain) 3506.5
  GWh (15.51 )

Electricity Sector in Morocco

• Production of Electricity in Morocco ONE
  (National Utility of Electricity) Private
  producers (BOT)
• Distribution ONE Governmental companies
  Private Companies in big
  cities
• Until now, no Agency for regulation of
  electricity market
• Price of electricity fixed by Government,
• about 1 DH/kWh (8.6 cEuro) - (1 Euro 11.5
  DH)
• New Law about self-production of electricity from
  10 MW to 50 MW (12 June 2008)
• New Law about Renewables Energies Energy
  Efficiency (in preparation)
• Now, No Feed-in-tariff for Renewables
  Energies in Morocco

7
Self-Producers Wind Projects

• Self-producers Production consumption of
  Electricity from wind energy by Industrials in
  the the same site of the factory or in others
  sites via taxe of transport
  - 6 cDH/kWh (0.5 cEuro/kWh) until 2011
  - 8 cDH/kWh (0.7 cEuro/kWh)
  from 2012
• Average price to buy electricity from ONE (for
  industrials) 65 cDH/kWh (5.6 cEuro)
• Possibility to sell Extra energy from Wind
  Farms to the national electrical grid (ONE) with
  a price of 70 of ONE-Tariffs.
• Guaranty of Electricity to industrials in each
  time from ONE (National Grid)
• Wind Farms Programmed by self-producers 850 MW
• (2010-2011)

  average between 9.5 11 m/s at 40
  meters.- Tarfaya, Taza Dakhla with an annual
  average between 7.5 m/s 9.5 m/s at 40
  meters.
• Wind Potential of Morocco
• Total Potential 7936 TWh/year (2645
  GW)
• Technical Potential 4896 TWh/year (1632 GW)
• Wind Atlas of Morocco published in 1986, 1995 and
  updated in 2008.
• More than 50 measurements stations installed by
  CDER between 1990 2008

Conclusion

• Morocco has an excellent wind potential
• National Energy Priorities Strategy -
  Production of 20 of electricity from Renewable
  Energy by 2012.
• - Energy efficiency 15 reduction in
  consumption by 2020
• Some projects installed or under preparation for
  generation of electricity from wind - For
  national grid to reduce importation of oil
• - For Self-producers (Industrials)
• - For export green electricity to Europe
• - For desalination sea water by wind (3500
  kms of coasts)
• Private companies can also contribute to realize
  the challenge by installation of Wind Farms in
  Morocco
