Abstract: In this paper, we reported the current status of the energy sector and its future challenges in Morocco. Recent strategies deployed by the government for sustainable development were reviewed and discussed. These strategies put the transition to renewable alternatives on the top of the national policy implications for energy security and low-carbon economy. We have also suggested a methodological tool to prioritize energy alternatives for power generation. It was found that wind energy is the most appropriate power generation alternative in Morocco at the current level.
