RENEWABLE ENERGY: RE SHARE OF RE AT THE HORIZON 2020

6188 8056 11048 14755 MW

IMPLEMENTATION OF 2 000 MW AT THE HORIZON 2020

ESTIMATED ANNUAL PRODUCTION: 6600 GWh

ESTIMATED COST: 31,5 billions DHS (3,5 billions Dollars)

5 selected sites : Sendouk (Tanger), Koudia Baida II (Tétouan), Taza (Taza), Tiskrad (Laâyoune), Boujdour (Boujdour)

This plan will allow : • Saving 1,5 millions of TOE, • Avoiding the emission of 5,6 millions tons of CO2 per year

The first wind park within this plan will be commissioned on 2014The plan refers to the development of domestic wind industry

SOLAR PLAN: INTEGRATED PROJECT WITH SECTORIAL SYNERGIES

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT:

o Social and economical benefits for the regions where sites are located

Specialized training and capacity building:

o Specific modules in schools of engineering;

o Specialized techniciens in solar energy by professional Institutes

R & D:

o A key to replicate and improve futur projects

Industrial development and integration:

o Know how development;

o Development of an industrial tissue specialized in solar field.

11

A SPECIFIC COMPAGNY DEDICATED TO THE PROJECT

A dedicated society has been created on Feb. 2010: Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN)

o Ensure the supervision of the whole (conception, studies, operators selection, supervision of the execution ….)

Agency with public funds:o Stateo Hassan II Fund for Economical and Social

Development o SIE: Société d’Investissements Energétiqueso ONE

SOLAR PLAN: PROJECT REALIZATION

Selection of developpers: international bids

Diversified Mechanisms of financing

13

STEPS TOWARDS THE REALIZATION

First site: Ouarzazate;

Following the invitation for Expression of Interest issued on march 2010, MASEN has launched the pre-qualification process for the development of the 1st phase of the Ouarzazate solar power plant.

o 1st stage: 1 or more thermal solar plants with minimum capacity of 125 MW2014

o Subsequent stages will be launched by the end of 2012

Selection of the developpers of the 1st stage on April 2011

Financial closure by the end of 2011 Starting the construction: second semester

of 2011 12

CONCLUSION

• Morocco has adopted an integrated approach for developing RE & EE based on clear objectives, plans for medium and long terms .

• Private sector will play an important role in realizing these projects especially solar plan: more visibility and opportunities of investments.

• The ambitious is to develop local industries and companies.

• The government has implemented sound legal, institutional and regulatory frameworks. Some details of this regulation are under finalization for some specific aspects.

• Support to develop R&D and know how related to RE & EE.
