Abstract: Satisfying energy requirements in its most suitable form is the great challenge of the world in the 21st century. Moroccan authorities are fully aware about this challenge, especially with the population and economic growth that causes a sharp increase of energy demand. This paper presents the renewable energy potentials and the national strategy currently underway to pursue low-carbon opportunities in Morocco. The enormous potential identified in the Moroccan renewable energy sector with favorable CO2 mitigation draw optimistic expectations to build sustained low-carbon economy.
