Germany and Morocco are leading the energy transition on their continents and work together to move forwards with a global sustainable energy transition by 2050. Morocco has a huge renewable energy potential, particularly in solar and wind. Due to geographic proximity and interconnections, market integration could enable a mutual beneficial exchange of sustainable energy supply in the long term.
Fact & Figures
Renewable Electricity Targets
Morocco and Germany are both set on ambitious electricity transition pathways with renewable electricity targets up to 2030. Both countries share the ambition of having their energy supply being essentially renewable by 2050.
Energy Dependency Ratio
Both Morocco and Germany are very dependent on energy imports but set to decrease those through ambitious energy transition pathways.
Average Yearly Sunshine Hours
Even in one of Morocco´s rainiest cities, Tangiers, sunshine hours are almost double those of Germany´s sunniest city, Freiburg.
About PAREMA
The German-Moroccan Energy Partnership PAREMA was created in 2012 with the signature of a declaration of intent at Ministerial level.
As the institutionalised dialogue platform on energy, it enables an exchange of best practices and experience between key stakeholders of the two countries, both leading the energy transition on their respective continents.
Just like Germany [...] the energy future of our country will be essentially renewable. The Partnership with Germany goes even further: to ensure a sustainable supply of energy, countries need regional solutions, such as the integration of electricity mar
Milestones
The German-Moroccan Energy Partnership PAREMA was created in 2012 and rebooted in 2016 by the signing of joint declarations of intent. Since then it has not only served as platform for deepening the exchange between the two energy transition leaders, but has also worked as a catalyzer for bilateral cooperation initiatives in the energy field and communication on energy transition issues.
There are few countries in the world that have developed an energy policy as precise and clear as Morocco
