Morocco's Wind Energy Capacity Reaches 2,390 MW, Driving Renewable Transition
Morocco's wind energy capacity reached 2,390 MW by the end of 2024, marking an 18.5% increase from the previous year and accounting for 20% of the total electricity capacity. This growth was driven by the commissioning of new wind projects, contributing to a 43% rise in wind power generation, which now represents 21% of national electricity production. The country aims to achieve over 52% renewable energy in its electricity mix by 2030.

Morocco's wind energy capacity reached 2,390 MW by the end of 2024, an 18.5% increase from the previous year, making up 20% of the total installed electricity capacity. This growth is attributed to the commissioning of the Jbel Lahdid wind farm (270 MW) and the Repowering Koudia al Baida project (100 MW).
Wind power generation rose to 9,363 GWh in 2024, a 43% increase, accounting for 21% of national electricity production and 80% of renewable output. Total renewable capacity reached 5,439 MW, covering 45% of the electricity mix, with wind leading at 44%.
Installed solar capacity grew to 928 MW, but production decreased by 25% to 1,617 GWh. The Abdelmoumen pumped-storage station added 350 MW in October 2024. Morocco aims for over 52% renewable energy in its electricity mix by 2030, with domestic electricity demand of 45.71 TWh met primarily through local sources.
