Morocco to invest over 2 billion Dirhams in solar expansion

Morocco is advancing its renewable energy ambitions with over 2 billion dirhams invested in solar infrastructure expansion across ten regions under the Noor Atlas Photovoltaic Solar Energy program.  

Reported by the Moroccan government friendly Hespress  on April 18th, central to this effort is the newly established Noor Atlas Energy Company SA, which will oversee six solar plants totaling 291 MW across five regions.  

Backed by funding from international and local financial institutions, the initiative supports Morocco’s goal of generating 6,000 MW of clean electricity by 2030, with renewables accounting for 52% of the national energy mix.
