The European “Energy Portal” website acclaimed Morocco’s tendency to increasingly adopt solar energy as a means to address energy scarcity and promote sustainable development in the continent and the world.
The report acknowledged Morocco’s persistent efforts to contribute to a positive environmental transition, praising the country’s wise investment in solar power plants, such as the Noor Ouarzazate Complex, which is expected to generate enough electricity to benefit more than a million homes.
With the world struggling to face the adverse repercussions of climate change, Morocco, as stressed in the report, is embracing sustainable alternatives to traditional energy production, which makes use of fossil fuels and other environmentally-unfriendly substances.
Omaima Khalil al-Fan, a researcher in climate and sustainable development, said, “Morocco’s tendency to invest in renewable energies is not a new trend, as it has always been among the first countries aware of the problems and threats of climate change,” noting that “Morocco, since the summit Stockholm, was among the signatories to all the agreements, from the Kyoto Protocol to the Paris Agreement.
AlFan added that “Morocco has adjusted its national internal policies to meet international recommendations through national programs and strategies, and today is committed to reducing its gas emissions from 13% to 53%, which is a very important number,”
She continued saying that Morocco invested in its solar energy infrastructure through the construction of many promising stations, such as Noor Ouarzazate, which is the largest station on the African level.
The researcher proceeded, “These are wise choices that reflect Morocco’s early awareness, which will help the country ensure its energy sovereignty and reduce the energy bill as well as face the challenges of climate change,”
The spokeswoman considered that Morocco’s orientation towards alternative energies that are less polluting and harmful “represents a strategic tendency that makes our country one of the leading countries not only at the African level but also globally.”
Al Fan explained that “Morocco is one of the countries that have achieved great success, due to the great seriousness and commitment, he employed in the study and preparation of his projects.’’
