Spain and the Netherlands have both launched subsidy schemes to support domestic manufacturing of batteries and PV modules.
With Morocco’s existing generation capacity, including ample coal-burning capacity but limited renewable energy, removal of oil subsidies alone could cause a shift from oil to coal and natural gas, slightly increasing electric system carbon emissions on a net basis.
The Morocco Energy Policy MRV is funded by the Carbon Partnership Facility. Useful guidance and suggestions were received from donor countries that participate in the Carbon Partnership Facility and the Transformative Carbon Asset Facility, both administered by the World Bank.
However, more needs to be done for the Moroccan electric system to achieve long-term financial, energy, and climate sustainability. Moving forward, continuation of energy subsidies and tariff reform, and acceleration of the incorporation of renewables are instrumental to the success of the National Energy Strategy and NDC.
Looking forward, Morocco needs make substantial additional policy efforts to enable its ambition of reaching 52% renewable installed capacity by 2030, while preserving valuable fiscal resources from wasteful and inefficient energy subsidies and protecting those people who could be adversely affected by these policies.
Fuel subsidies: Like the Policy Scenario, the Baseline 2016 scenario assumes that there are no fuel subsidies are in effect in Morocco’s electricity system from 2014 onward. Electricity tariffs: This scenario assumes that Moroccan electricity consumers continue to pay the same for electricity as they did in 2015 in all years between 2016 and 2030.
The effort has so far resulted in electricity demand saving, more renewable energy generation, and significant emission reduction. However, more needs to be done for the Moroccan electric system to achieve long-term financial, energy, and climate sustainability.
