Morocco ambitions solar energy output of 2,000 Megawatts by 2020 ...

Marrakesh, February 15, 2013 (MAP)

?Morocco ambitions to reach a production of 2,000 Megawatts of solar energy by 2020,? said the chairman of the Moroccan solar energy agency (MASEN), Mustapha Bakkoury.

Under an ambitious plan adopted in this regard, Morocco wants to reduce its energy dependence and stimulate national and foreign investments in solar and wind energies, said Bakkoury in Marrakesh during a conference held by the private university of Marrakech on ?renewable energies and their impact on regional development?.

He explained that the strategic plan for the development and use of solar energy is induced by Morocco?s enormous potentials in the sector, the socio-economic dynamism in the kingdom, the increasing energy needs and the hike in conventional energy prices, particularly oil.

Bakkoury added that promoting solar energy will help meet Morocco?s electricity needs, insisting that this ?integrated project? will produce annually 4,500 gigawatts of electricity per hour, covering 18 pc of the present production.

The programs also includes other components linked to training, research and development and upgrading a robust and integrated solar industry, he said before calling for promoting investments in the sector.
