Morocco has focused its mitigation efforts on the energy sector, with the goal of reaching over 50% of installed electricity production capacity from renewable sources by 2025. Consequently, water resources especially are coming under increasing pressure, with water shortages expected by 2020. Morocco is strongly reliant on agriculture, fishery and tourism, all sectors that are highly impacted by climate change, with ramifications such as drought, increases in average temperatures, heatwaves, changing rainfall patterns, extreme rainfall, floods and rises in sea levels. The coastal plains and lowland plateaus in the north are influenced by the Mediterranean and Atlantic climates, while the south is composed of semiarid grasslands and arid regions. It has Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines and a rugged mountain interior, and with its geographical location it falls between two main climate zones. Morocco is the most westerly country in North Africa.
This process will help develop a structured and professional solar pumping supply sector in the country. Between 20, 30,000 pumps will be installed, instead of the initial target of approximately 5,000 pumps over the next five years. As a result, the scale of the pilot programme already launched by the Moroccan government was changed to cover the distribution of solar pumps for irrigation.
The purpose was to encourage implementation of the national solar pumping programme while also expanding its scope. Based on the outcomes of the TNA project, a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action document on photovoltaic technology was developed.
