Energy In Morocco
Morocco's energy policy is set independently by two agencies of the government: thOffice of Hydrocarbons and Mining (ONHYM)which sets domestic oil policy, and thOffice National de l'Electricité (ONE) which sets policy with regard to electricity. The two major weaknesses of the energy policy of Morocco are the lack of coordination between these two agencies and the lack of development of domestic energy sources. The country has some hydrocarbon reserves, mostly in natural gas reserves that have been exploited. Currently, most energy is produced through hydrocarbon thermal plants. However, government policy is on track to convert to a high renewable mix of 42% installed renewables by 2020, and 52% by 2030. Renewables include hydroelectric, wind, and solar. Oil and natural gas The United States Energy Information Administration (USEIA) reports that Morocco produces only "marginal amounts of oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum," and it has never exceeded 5,000 barrels per day. ...
