This Programme aims to: (i) improve energy security; (ii) increase the share of clean and renewable energies in the energy mix, thereby mitigating the impacts of electric power generation on climate; and (iii) provide rural areas with access to energy in Morocco. This Programme will result in a reduction in energy product imports and help to prevent the emission of 65 million tonnes of CO2 over its total life-span. It will also foster greater private sector participation in electric power generation investments. It will result in the electrification of 86,000 households, representing about 516,000 Moroccans living in rural areas.
