Morocco is the largest energy importer in North Africa: it is the only country in the region with no natural oil reserves, and imports 96% of its energy from elsewhere. In order to reduce its dependence on other countries, the government of Morocco has implemented a policy to source at least 40% of its energy from domestic renewable sources by 2020. Significant progress has been made therein, with major PPP deals in the solar and wind sectors. Currently, private sector participation is made attractive via substantial state financial incentives, although some observers doubt whether the private sector will remain interested if these subsidies decline.
