Morocco · electricity network
Morocco power grid
OverWatts maps 11,700 km of Morocco's electricity transmission network across 657 line segments and 11 substations, the 31st most-mapped grid of 153 countries. Its backbone is high voltage (220–379 kV), carrying 9,296 km — 80% of the mapped length, with the highest tagged voltage at 400 kV. That works out to 19.7 km per 1,000 km² of land — moderate OpenStreetMap coverage, ahead of 56% of mapped countries. It is connected to 3 neighbouring grids by 3,600 MW of existing cross-border transfer capacity, with a further 1,000 MW planned.
OpenStreetMap coverage
This grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn Morocco's network — not how much network exists. Large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone, and every kilometre here is mapped length, so the totals are a floor rather than an operator-reported figure. 17% of segments carry a real line name and 1% an operator tag.

657 segments · a segment is credited to the country containing its midpoint, so a border-crossing line counts once, on one side.

Load against the network
Where there is room to connect a new load depends on published hosting capacity, which most operators release only as their own map. OverWatts does not yet ingest those feeds, so these are the density measures the open data supports — generation and mapped demand against mapped network — not a headroom figure.

Frequently asked
- How big is Morocco's transmission network?
- OverWatts maps 11,700 km of transmission line in Morocco, across 657 segments, plus 11 substations. This is mapped length from OpenStreetMap, not an operator-reported total — where OSM is incomplete the figure is a floor, never a ceiling.
- What voltage is Morocco's grid?
- Most of the mapped network is high voltage (220–379 kV): 9,296 km of 11,700 km. The highest voltage tagged anywhere in the country is 400 kV.
- How complete is the grid map for Morocco?
- Moderate — 19.7 km of mapped line per 1,000 km² of land, ahead of 56% of the 153 countries with any mapped grid. Coverage grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn the network, not how much network exists; large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone.
- Who operates the grid in Morocco?
- ONEE are tagged as operators on mapped segments. Operator tags are present on 1% of Morocco's segments, so this ranks who is *recorded*, not market share.
- What interconnectors connect Morocco to its neighbours?
- 3,600 MW of cross-border transfer capacity to Algeria, Spain, Western Sahara, plus 1,000 MW planned. Capacities are from the Global Transmission Database (v1.0, 2023).

Network geometry: OpenStreetMap (ODbL) © OpenStreetMap contributors, ingested and measured by OverWatts · derived 2026-07-26. Counts every mapped line of 220 kV and above; the map layer draws the ≥380 kV backbone only, so it shows less than is measured here.
