For now, Morocco imports the lion‘s share of its energy. But this is set to change. After all, Moroco boasts ideal conditions for a renewable energy industry with plentiful sunshine and regular winds. The capital Tangier is now home to a wind park that has enormous potential. Not only does it demonstrate what is possible, it is also helping develop expertise on wind power technology.
