Morocco is planning to invite bids for a giant power storage facility with a capacity of nearly 1,600 megawatts (MW) within a long-term programme to expand renewable energy sources in its national power network, a newspaper said on Tuesday.
The project will combine a solar PV array with a battery energy storage system. The document said its expected net capacity during off-peak hours will be 200MWac and is not to exceed 230MW, measured at the delivery point.
Morocco is preparing to launch a massive foray into clean energy with its ambitious 1.6 GW BESS projects. The National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) is expected to invite tenders for battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling nearly 1,600MW.
The Office National de l''Électricité et de l''Eau potable (ONEE) has initiated a battery energy storage project with a total capacity of 1600 megawatt-hours (MWh) to strengthen the stability of Morocco''s national electricity grid.
Using energy storage and green hydrogen among others, Morocco aims to increase the share of renewables in its total power capacity to 52% by 2030, 70% by 2040 and 80% by 2050.

Welcome to Morocco – North Africa''s sleeping energy giant now wide awake and building stable energy storage solutions that even Europe envies. With 96% of its electricity demand met domestically in 2023 [1], Morocco isn''t just keeping the lights on; it''s rewriting the continent''s energy playbook.
In November 2024, Saudi Arabia''s ACWA Power and China''s Gotion High-tech reached a cooperation agreement to build a 500MW wind farm in Morocco, equipped with a 2GWh battery energy storage facility, with an investment of approximately $800 million.
To address this, Morocco is resolutely focusing on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, a reliable, durable technology suited to local constraints. This choice is part of a national strategy for equipping, testing, and industrializing energy storage.
In collaboration with Belgium, Morocco launched a project for the production and storage of thermal energy from renewable energy sources within the Noor Ouarzazate solar complex.
Morocco is accelerating its energy transition by issuing a global call for expressions of interest to build two large-scale battery storage facilities. The projects are spearheaded by the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN) and Morocco''s national electricity company ONEE.
