Power Plants in Morocco
Morocco has 55 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 55th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.2% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 24 operating and 30 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 9.6 GW across 24 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is AMUN solar farm (7.5 GW).
The largest owner-operators are Office National de l'Electricité et de l'Eau Potable (Morocco) (16), Office National de L'Electricite de L'Eau Potable (8) and ACWA Power Co (4) — Office National de l'Electricité et de l'Eau Potable (Morocco) alone is named on 29% of them. Half of Morocco's power plants in service predate 2010 (median commissioning year of the 24 with a known date), 8 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Bin El Ouidane hydroelectric plant, dating from 1953. 30 are in the pipeline, led by AMUN solar farm (7.5 GW), under construction. They account for 59% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Morocco.

Frequently asked
- How many power plants are there in Morocco?
- OverWatts maps 55 power plants in Morocco — 0.2% of the world's mapped total, the 55th-largest national fleet of the 155 countries with any.
- What is the largest power plant in Morocco?
- AMUN solar farm, at 7.5 GW, operated by Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, CWP Global.
- How much power-generation capacity do Morocco's power plants have?
- About 9.6 GW operating across 24 plants, with a further 53.6 GW under construction or proposed. That covers utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above, so it sits below national installed capacity wherever distributed generation is large.
- Who owns the power plants in Morocco?
- Office National de l'Electricité et de l'Eau Potable (Morocco) is named as owner or operator on the most — 16 of 55 (29%). Next are Office National de L'Electricite de L'Eau Potable (8), ACWA Power Co (4) and MASEN (4).
- How old are Morocco's power plants?
- The median commissioning year is 2010, across the 24 in service with a known start date. The oldest still listed is Bin El Ouidane hydroelectric plant (1953); 8 came online in the past ten years.
- What new power plants are being built in Morocco?
- 30 projects are under construction or proposed. The largest are AMUN solar farm (7.5 GW), Morocco-Germany solar farm (7.5 GW) and AMUN wind farm (7.5 GW).
