Morocco is intensifying investment in solar power in the hope of hitting a target to raise the use of renewables in its energy mix to more than half. The country has set a target of 52 percent renewables by 2030 after achieving previous targets, local media reported.
The facility, which will use batteries, will supply power to Kenitra and nearby areas. Leila Benali, Morocco's minister of energy transition and sustainable development, said last year that renewable capacity was 5,304MW, accounting for about 44 percent of total power generation of 11,980MW.
Morocco is also planning to invite bids for a giant power storage facility with a capacity of nearly 1,600MW, the officials said. The facility, which will use batteries, will supply power to Kenitra and nearby areas.
The country has set a target of 52 percent renewables by 2030 after achieving previous targets, local media reported. Newspapers said on Friday that hydrocarbon-poor Morocco has approved two new solar power plants with a combined generation capacity of 400 megawatts (MW) in addition to a 100MW battery-run power storage facility.
