DESIGNING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY MARKET: MOROCCO APPROACH

Mohamed BERDAI, Director International Cooperation RENEWABLE ENERGY CENTER (CDER) Berlin, March 28, 2008

MAIN ENERGY STAKES

• Security of supply, within an international

contexte charaterized by strong demand;

• Important growth of energy & water needs:

demography, rapid urbanization, industry, housing, Tourisme;

• Energy efficiency becomes very critical with

high and volatile oil prices

MAIN ENERGY STAKES

• (3D)Drought, deforestation and desertification • Environnemental issues • Alternatives after oil?

MOROCCO CASE

Heavy energy constraints: dependency on imports + 95% Rising oil and cool prices: the overall oil bill represented for the year 2007 around 10% of our GDP Morocco is registering sustainable economic growth and related to this, electricity demand: 7-8%/year Renewable Energy and energy efficiency is one of the best solutions to the country’s energy challenge

RE AND EE : A REAL PRACTICE FOR DEVELOPMENT

Electricity Production : Wind parks, sea water desalination, solar-thermal plants-production Rural energy : Consolidated decentralized electrification, substituting biomass for heating and cooking Solar thermal : Transformation of SWH market Wood-fuel : Introduction of improved technologies in Hammams, bakery ovens and pottery sector Collective buildings : Thermal regulation in buildings, labelization of equipments Industry : Optimisation of demand management

PNDEREE: MOROCCAN RE & EE PROGRAM 2012 OBJECTIVES : BY 2012 20% of electricity produced from RE 10% of the Energy consumption from RE

PNDEREE: MOROCCAN RE & EE PROGRAM 2012

     Power generation: 1000 MW  Wind parks , solarthermal plants, Objectives Decentralized rural electrification + extending of basic services Objectives for energy effeciency Objectives for implementing an appropriate institutionnel and regulatory framework dedicated to RE and EE to encourage investments in the sector Necessary actions to follow up the whole program

ENERGY REFORMS: WB LOAN

Government Commitments within the WB Energy sector development policy loan: diversification of energy sources, analyse progressive reduction of butane subsidy, liberalization of electricity sector, reinforcement of CDER and RE promotion (law), fund RE & EE to be implemented Schedule: 3 years  2008-2010

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK UNDER APPROVAL

 Raising auto-production limit from 10 to 50 MW for industries and private  Under approval: law project for RE & EE  Reorganization of the CDER as an operational agency for renewable energy, with regional operationality

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

 Laws promulgated for water and waste management  National programs (2015) regarding waste and used water management adopted by the National Council for Environment

NEW OPERATIONAL APPROACHES RENEWABLE ENERGIES

 Inventory of renewable energy resources and sites  Portfolio of investment projects  Accompagning investment initiatives  Promotion of quality and efficiency : norms, standards and technical guides  Follow up : impact analysis, development and technological adaptation

NEW OPERATIONAL APPROACHES : ENERGY EFFICIENCY

     Sectorial study : tertiary, transport, agriculture, artisanat,... reference state , potential Implementation « energy audits » Assistance for institutions, local collectivities and enterprises for developing their plan for energy efficiency Accompagning EE projects : technical and financial engineering, follow up of realizations,… Proposition of norms, standards and technical guides for equipment, materiel and related serices

ENERGIEPRO OFFER Objective :

Promotion of Industrial self Production “ Grands Comptes Clients’’.

Consistency of the offer :

Insure transit of overall energy generated Arround 1 cents US $ /KWh as transit cost National Company buy excess energy at arround 4 cents US $ /KWh Incentives from the government Under discussion

Case Study : Wind Park of Tetouan Cementery

50% of energy need of the factory

30.000 tonnes de CO2/an avoided

• Power installed 10 MW • Electricity generated /year 38,1 GWh • Total investment cost around 90 Millions $ US • The park registered CDM project (10 $ US / T CO2)

Opportunities of Morocco Oriental Area  First 20 MW CSP : construction launched today by the king of Morocco  Closest Solar Energy “Reservoir” to Europe  High Interest of local Stakeholders  Switching from Coal to Solar
