<p>Morocco is heavily dependent on fossil fuels and unlike many of its neighbors, it does not possess significant oil resources. It is the largest energy importer in North Africa. This has placed a significant burden on the financial budget of the Government and became especially significant when oil prices start to increase. The vulnerability to imports in a period of growing demand highlights the need for greater energy diversity, particularly from local sources.</p>

<p>Although the country does not have domestic fossil fuel resources, it does possess strong renewable energy sources - wind and solar - that have the potential to cover a substantial share of the future domestic energy demand and the country is a leader in deploying clean energy technologies.​</p>

	<p>National Energy Strategy</p>

	<ul>
		<li>
		<p>Provide 42% of the installed electrical power from renewable sources by 2020 and 52 % of the installed electrical power from renewable sources by 2030 (20% solar energy, 20% wind and 12% hydraulic energy)</p>
		</li>
		<li>
		<p>Achieve 15 % energy savings by 2030.</p>
		</li>
		<li>
		<p>Reduce energy consumption in buildings, industry, and transport by 12% by 2020 and 15% by 2030 (48% for industry, 23% for transport, 19% for residential and 10% for services)</p>
		</li>
		<li>
		<p>Install by 2030 an additional capacity of 3,900 MW of combined-cycle technology running on imported natural gas.</p>
		</li>
		<li>
		<p>Supply major industries with imported and regasified natural gas by pipelines</p>

<p><strong>Experience with carbon markets: </strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Establishment of international market-based mechanisms is of primary importance and considered in the Morocco’s NDC.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Morocco’s Market Readiness Proposal (MRP) identified three target sectors - electricity generation, cement production, and phosphate processing - to achieve GHG emissions mitigation. MRP targets activities related to upstream policy analysis, data management, and MRV capacity building, and sectoral piloting.</p>

	<li>
	<p>26 CDM projects under validation and 16 registered and 8 PoAs under validation and 3 registered.</p>

<p><strong>Nationally Determined Contribution: </strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Morocco joined the Paris Agreement on 21 September 2016</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Unconditional target: 17% below business as usual (BAU) by 2030</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Conditional target (with international support): 25% below BAU by 2030.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Total cost to reach unconditional and conditional targets: USD 26 billion and USD 24 billion respectively. <strong>A total of USD 50 billion to reach 42% target.</strong></p>
