The country targets green hydrogen and sustainable shipping as it reduces coal dependence, now accounting for 60 percent of electricity generation.

Morocco is accelerating its transition to renewable energy, leveraging solar power and private investment to reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports. Coal still generates around 60 percent of the nation’s electricity, but recent developments aim to diversify its energy mix.

The country has expanded its solar sector and is positioning itself as a hub for green hydrogen and sustainable shipping. Proximity to Europe and favorable weather conditions have attracted significant private capital, supporting long-term energy goals.

While coal remains dominant, Morocco’s push into renewables could reshape its energy market and reduce import costs over time.
