What is driving it

• Government target of 52% renewable installed capacity by 2030, with 45.5% already achieved by mid-2025
• Morocco's new power investment strategy envisages increasing renewable energy funding fourfold over the next five years
• Revised EU-Morocco trade agreement (provisionally in force October 2025) lowers barriers for European component suppliers

Full analysis

Morocco is experiencing a historic investment surge, with FDI inflows reaching USD 3.33 billion in 2025—a 91% year-on-year increase per UNCTAD's World Investment Report 2026—and the country now ranks second in Africa and the Arab world for FDI attractiveness. The government has approved 47 projects worth nearly $5 billion spanning automotive, energy, and tourism, while committing $4.5 billion to airport expansions through 2030. A revised EU-Morocco trade liberalisation agreement provisionally entered into force on 3 October 2025, reinforcing Morocco's role as a nearshoring and re-export hub for European companies. Renewable energy is a primary catalyst: Morocco reached 45.5% renewable installed capacity by mid-2025 and is targeting 52% by 2030, backed by a Moroccan-Emirati alliance signing $14 billion in renewable and desalination deals in May 2025. The country's unique position—holding free trade agreements with both the US and the EU, plus AfCFTA membership—makes it a rare dual-access platform for goods destined for Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

Morocco's MASEN agency is executing Noor Midelt II and III—each 400 MW hybrid solar-plus-storage plants with 602 MWh co-located BESS—creating an active supply chain demand for European-grade components and EPC services. A Moroccan-Emirati alliance signed renewable and desalination deals valued at nearly $14 billion with the Moroccan government in May 2025, dramatically accelerating procurement timelines and sub-contractor opportunities.

Market drivers:

• Government target of 52% renewable installed capacity by 2030, with 45.5% already achieved by mid-2025
• Morocco's new power investment strategy envisages increasing renewable energy funding fourfold over the next five years
• Revised EU-Morocco trade agreement (provisionally in force October 2025) lowers barriers for European component suppliers

Risks:

• MASEN procurement cycles are subject to bureaucratic delays and preference for large international EPC prime contractors
• Currency risk on MAD-denominated contracts, partially mitigated by EU-Morocco trade framework
