According to IRENA's “Renewable Capacity Statistics” report, the global installed capacity of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems by the end of 2023 reached approximately 6876 MW, with Morocco accounting for nearly 20% of this total. Morocco is the leading country in Africa in terms of CSP capacity, followed by South Africa with 500 MW.
“Maroc Photovoltaïque”, which consists of implementing a PV system with a capacity of 10 MW in the province of Jerada, is scheduled for commissioning in 2024. In addition, “Green Power Morocco”, with a capacity of 30 MW, is being developed by the company Green Power.
Within 10 years, desalination in Morocco could require between 40 MW and 200 MW of installed solar capacity. By 2040, this demand could significantly increase, surpassing 500 MW, to meet government objectives of desalinating several million cubic meters per day.
In the framework of the MSP, Morocco has completed one of the largest solar complexes in the world, aiming to contribute to meeting domestic and European green energy demands. The Noor Ouarzazate complex extends over 6000 acres and consists of four power plants, each using different technologies.
These findings demonstrate that integrating stochastic optimization with solar panels and battery storage significantly enhances household energy flexibility and reduces costs, underscoring the importance
