TotalEnergies and Hutchinson have signed a partnership agreement for a solar energy project in Morocco aimed at reducing Hutchinson’s environmental footprint and boosting energy efficiency. This collaboration supports Morocco’s broader renewable energy goals and demonstrates TotalEnergies’ commitment to facilitating sustainable energy transformation for businesses.
The project will feature a 1.7 MWp solar capacity, comprising 2,850 high-performance photovoltaic (PV) modules, expected to generate approximately 2,590 MWh of clean energy annually. Morocco has emerged as a regional leader in renewable energy, attracting global partnerships that help reduce dependence on energy imports and accelerate its green transition.
Morocco’s renewable energy strategy is focused on achieving 52% of its energy production from renewable sources by 2030. While fossil fuels still dominate the country’s energy mix, the shift towards renewables is gaining momentum. The country’s efforts have earned it recognition in the Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (RECAI), where it ranks as a top African nation in renewable energy development.
Morocco is expected to add more than 1 GW of renewable energy capacity annually from 2023 to 2027. Major projects like the $20 billion Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project, which will transmit 11.5 GW of zero-carbon electricity from Moroccan solar and wind farms to the UK, are key components of the country’s ambitious renewable energy plans.
