Morocco is a major destination for the programs of the IFIs
(International Financial Institutions) and the EU, tariff dismantling is
taking place under the Association Agreement with the EU and the
consequent simplification of the trading scheme creates very
important business opportunities.
The World Bank provides an annual grant of about $ 700 million to Morocco.
Morocco was one of the top market reformers in the Middle East and North Africa between 2000 and 2010, according
to the new World Bank report and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Morocco cut the cost of starting a
business, complying with tax regulations, and doing property transfers, all measures that can help support job creation,
an urgent challenge across the whole region.
Morocco has also organized the environment to attract companies and investors, the Moroccan government
promulgated a law for renewable energy, creating a dedicated agency to construct the solar plan, which is the
Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy.

Morocco is the largest energy importer in North Africa with an
inversion of €8 billion of in 2008 and with an enormous potential for
renewable energy :
Coastline: 3,500 km.
Electricity consumption: 5 kWh / m² /day
Windpower potential: Over 25,000 MW, of which only about 5,000MW
are exploited.
Biomass production: 9 million hectares of forests
Renewable energies will account for 42% of Morocco's electricity generation capacity by 2020, Energy
Minister Amina Benkhadra said on 2011, May 31st, at conference in Oujda. The government will invest DH73
billion (€6,4 billion) to install a new power output of 3,640 MW by 2015.
Morocco is a major destination for the programs of the IFIs (International Financial Institutions) and the EU,
tariff dismantling is taking place under the Association Agreement with the EU and the consequent
simplification of the trading scheme, which cerates very important business opportunities.
In short, Morocco is an interesting destination for inversions in renewable energies.
