The House of Representatives said in a statement today they have begun using energy from renewable sources to power the parliament building since the beginning of the current legislative term 2021-2026.
Relying on new eco-friendly generation equipment, the House of Representatives has installed more than 670 solar panels on the roof of its building, to produce in a first stage 420,000 kilowatts annually, which covers the third of its energy needs.
The green energy campaign also seeks to reduce paper use by 90% and substitute it with digital means of information exchange.
The United Nations Environment Program had chosen the parliament building in 2017 to be among ten historical monuments and buildings across the world to be lit green on the occasion of World Environment Day (June 5), as part of the “Connecting to Nature” initiative.
The announcement presented another effort by the North African country to project itself as a responsible actor in curbing its impact on the climate, spearheaded by action plans and national policies running since 1999.
By 2030, Morocco vowed to cut 45.5% of its greenhouse emissions.
