Electricity production in Morocco has increased by 6.7% in the first month of 2025, following a 9.4% rise during the same period the previous year, according to the Directorate of Studies and Financial Forecasts (DEPF) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
This growth was driven primarily by a 9.6% increase in private electricity production and a 1.1% rise in output from the National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), as explained in the DEPF’s recent economic report.
However, production from renewable energy sources covered under Law 13-09 decreased by 3.5%, contrasting with a 31.5% increase reported at the end of January 2024.
Regarding external electricity trade, imports rose by 14.4% in January, reversing a 21.8% decline recorded the previous year. On the other hand, exports dropped by 43.6%, despite a 7% increase in net electricity demand, marking the highest growth recorded in the past 12 years.
Electricity consumption surged by 16.7% in January 2025, following a 4.6% increase the previous year, reaching the highest growth rate seen in the last 28 years. This rise was mainly driven by a substantial increase in electricity sales to distributors (+93.9%) and a 55.3% increase in electricity consumption for high, medium, and very high tension, mostly used by the manufacturing sector.
In contrast, medium and low-voltage consumption decreased significantly, by 66.4% and 58.9%, respectively, by the end of January 2025.
