Installed capacity and annual production

In 2016 was Morocco concerning. The installed capacity of 8,303  MW in place 68 and with respect. Annual production of 28.75 billion kWh also in place 68 in the world. The degree of electrification in 2013 was 98.9% (100% in cities and 97.4% in rural areas). Morocco was a net importer of electricity in 2016; it exported 165 million kWh and imported 5.289 billion kWh.

According to the Office National de l'Electricité et de l'Eau Potable (ONEE), the installed capacity of power plants in Morocco was 7,342.2 MW at the end of 2013 , of which caloric power plants accounted for 5,077 MW (69.15%) Hydropower plants 1,770 MW (24.1%) and on wind power plants 495.2 MW (6.7%). A total of 26.94 billion kWh were produced in 2013 , of which 22.48 billion (83.44%) were generated by caloric power plants, 2.99 billion (11.1%) by hydropower plants and 1.356 billion (5.0 %) from wind turbines.

The Moroccan power grid since 1997 with the European grid system synchronized, as a first phase current - submarine cables (400 kV , 700 MW was installed) from Spain. Another submarine cable with the same output followed in 2006, so that the transmission capacity between Spain and Morocco is now 1,400 MW.

Hydropower plants

Morocco has considerable potential for harnessing hydropower and increasing its storage capacity. The country was one of the first in North Africa to cut subsidies for fossil fuels. In 2017, the installed capacity was 1770 MW , which is approximately 21% of the total installed capacity in the country. The annual generation from hydropower was 3689 GWh in the same year.
