Morocco among North Africa's fastest-growing solar markets

Renewables reached 45.5% of Morocco's installed electricity capacity by mid-2025, putting its 52% target within reach as early as 2028 according to published estimates.

On the industrial side, Morocco has doubled its solar manufacturing capacity to nearly one gigawatt a year, joining South Africa in a small group of countries beginning to scale local production rather than relying on imports alone.

North African markets — Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia — rank among the fastest-growing solar markets outside South Africa, adding 1.1GW between them in 2025, in a year when the continent recorded its fastest solar growth with installations up 54% year on year.
