Global GridMorocco's energy mix and electricity
🇲🇦 In 2025, Morocco generated 44.1 TWh of electricity. The largest source was coal at 62%, followed by wind (15%) and gas (11%). In total, 23% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 77% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 602 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), above the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Morocco the 125th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 47.9 TWh. Morocco imported 3.73 TWh more electricity than it exported, equal to 7.8% of its demand.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 222%, from 13.7 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 5% to 23%. The biggest rise was in wind, from 0% to 15% of generation. The biggest fall was in oil and other fossil fuels, from 26% to 4%. Carbon intensity fell from 759 to 602 grams per kWh.

Total energy mix in 2024
Electricity is only part of the energy Morocco uses: fuel for transport, heating and industry counts too. In 2024, Morocco used 276 TWh of energy in all (primary energy). The largest source was oil at 61%, followed by coal (27%) and wind (6.7%). Fossil fuels made up 91% and low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) 8.7%.
- Oil 61%
- Coal 27%
- Wind 6.7%
- Gas 3.3%
- Solar 1.9%
- Hydro 0.1%

Primary energy, with nuclear and renewable electricity counted as the fuel a power station would need to make it (the "substitution method"). Here "other renewables" is the Energy Institute's "geothermal, biomass and other" power generation, and biofuels are liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.

Energy security score
Vulnerable. Morocco ranks 127th of 158 countries and 27th of 35 in Africa. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy In 2024, Morocco produced energy equal to 9% of all the energy it used (100% or more scores full marks). | 9 |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, coal, made 62%. | 64 |
| Little reliance on imported power Net imports were 7.8% of demand; each 1% takes off 2 points. | 84 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 23% of generation. | 23 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 14% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 86 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 1,095 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Morocco, 0 km being built and 7,006 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country). For liquefied natural gas (LNG), shipped by sea, it lists 0 import terminals operating (3 more being built or proposed).
