Progress on Morocco's 1.6 GW Battery Energy Storage System Projects
Morocco's 1.6 GW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects are in procurement and development, aimed at enhancing renewable energy integration. This initiative aligns with the country's goal of generating 52% of electricity from renewables by 2030.

Morocco's national utility, ONEE, is developing the 1.6 GW BESS projects, which are essential for grid stabilization and renewable energy integration. The facilities, planned for northwest Morocco, will enhance electricity supply reliability and facilitate greater use of solar and wind energy.
As of 2026, procurement and development are ongoing, with no construction contracts awarded yet, as a transaction adviser has yet to be appointed. The initiative, part of Morocco's broader clean energy strategy, also supports a $1.3 billion battery gigafactory that recently secured $114 million in funding. Successful implementation could set a precedent for future energy projects in the region.
