Morocco’s electricity generation rose 5.3% in 2025, but renewable output increased by only 2.1%, indicating that almost all additional power production came from conventional sources despite continued investment in wind and solar capacity.
The country generated 45.9 terawatt-hours of electricity last year, up from 43.7 TWh in 2024, according to the Energy Institute’s 2026 Statistical Review of World Energy. Renewable sources produced 11.5 TWh, compared with 11.3 TWh a year earlier.
That means renewables accounted for roughly one-quarter of Morocco’s electricity output and provided only about 0.2 TWh of the overall 2.2 TWh annual increase.
Wind remained Morocco’s largest renewable electricity source, generating 9.2 TWh, although output fell 1.6% from 2024. Solar generation rose 18.3% to 1.9 TWh, while hydropower increased 26% to 0.4 TWh.
Installed wind capacity increased to 2,452 megawatts from 2,395 MW, while solar capacity reached 1,086 MW, divided almost evenly between photovoltaic and concentrated solar power plants.
The figures show that Morocco is adding renewable generation without yet replacing fossil fuels at the pace required to meet rapidly growing electricity demand. Earlier national data showed fossil fuels still supplied about 76% of electricity generation in 2025, while demand rose 7.35% to 48.2 TWh.
Over the past decade, Morocco’s electricity production has increased by more than half, rising from 30.3 TWh in 2015, as industrial activity, urbanisation and household consumption expanded.
