Standard NM CEI 61427-1 regulates the general conditions applying to the battery storage for renewable energy, NM EN 12977-3 regulates the performance testing methods applying to the storage installations for water solar heating, and NM EN 12977-4 regulates the conditions applying to the combined storage methods for solar heating.
Is there a standard for battery storage in Morocco?
It is also worth noting that the Moroccan Institute for Standardization ( “IMANOR”) has recently enacted standards applying to battery storage 4 .
Who is responsible for electricity storage in Morocco?
Electricity storage in Morocco falls within the scope of competence of the Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment. ONEE is in charge of the production, the transmission and the distribution of electricity.
Beyond the advancement of renewable energy, Morocco's policy initiatives encompass energy efficiency measures in challenging-to-abate sectors, such as building insulation and the adoption of energy-saving light bulbs. The overarching objective is to achieve a 20% reduction in overall energy consumption by 2030.
How can the Moroccan electric system achieve long-term sustainability?
However, more needs to be done for the Moroccan electric system to achieve long-term financial, energy, and climate sustainability. Moving forward, continuation of energy subsidies and tariff reform, and acceleration of the incorporation of renewables are instrumental to the success of the National Energy Strategy and NDC.
The findings from the Morocco Energy Policy MRV demonstrate that the country has made significant progress on the implementation of its National Energy Strategy. The effort has so far resulted in electricity demand saving, more renewable energy generation, and significant emission reduction.
Can Morocco achieve 52% renewable installed capacity by 2030?
Looking forward, Morocco needs make substantial additional policy efforts to enable its ambition of reaching 52% renewable installed capacity by 2030, while preserving valuable fiscal resources from wasteful and inefficient energy subsidies and protecting those people who could be adversely affected by these policies.
