Morocco’s total wind energy production capacity reached 2,373 megawatts (MW) by the end of 2024, Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development Leila Benali said on Monday in the House of Representatives.
Responding to an oral question on the progress of wind energy projects, Benali outlined developments under contractual production agreements, governed by Law 13-09 on renewable energies, as well as self-production initiatives.
She noted that the ministry’s multi-year plan aims to add 2.6 gigawatts (GW) of wind power capacity between 2023 and 2027, with investments exceeding 36 billion dirhams.
Wind projects play a key role in industrial integration and local economic development by creating jobs, enhancing skills, and boosting demand for locally manufactured equipment and services, she added.
Benali emphasized Morocco’s commitment to wind energy as a cornerstone of its renewable strategy, particularly along the Atlantic coast and in the Tangier region, where wind speeds range from 7.5 to 11 meters per second, along with significant offshore potential.
