Morocco greenlights new decrees for energy efficiency: The Moroccan government has approved three key decrees to boost the nation’s energy transition by diversifying energy sources, boosting renewable energy use, and enhancing energy efficiency, according to a statement released on Thursday.
The details:
- The first decree manages smart meters to optimize energy management by defining the functions of smart meters, and ensuring access to information regarding electricity drawn from or fed into the national grid by self-producers or grid operators.
- The second decree establishes Certificates of Origin, issued by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, for electricity generated from renewable sources. It is also expected to create new marketing avenues for green products.
- The third decree sets guidelines for energy services companies to promote energy efficiency and create jobs in the sector by encouraging energy savings and enabling companies to conduct studies aimed at reducing energy consumption to improve the energy performance of equipment.
REMEMBER- Morocco previously decentralized electricity production: The nation allowed individuals and businesses in Morocco to generate, store, and sell their own electricity from renewables back in December 2022 after Morocco’s House of Representatives unanimously approved a new bill on electricity self-production.
