The COP 22 conference held in November 2016 in Marrakesh showed why Morocco is considered the leader in renewable energies in the region. At the conference, its energy ministry announced that the country would work towards adding 3,000,000 m² of solar collector area (2,100 MWth) by 2030. That aim goes well beyond the expectations for solar electricity, as the National Energy Strategy 2030 calls for installing only 400 MWp of PV and 740 MW of CSP during the same period (see the attached PDF).
