It contains the electricity generation data in Morocco.

1. *GREEN WORLD
MOROCCO

3.  Morocco is 57th largest country of the
world and it has coast on the Atlantic
Ocean that reaches past the “strait
of Gibraltar”.
 Area = 4,46,550 km2
 Water = 250 km2
 Population =32 lacks (as per 2012)

4. In 1990s’
(AS PER SURVEY OF ELECTRICAL COMMISSION OF AFRICA’90)
 Electrical power consumption (kWh
per capita) = 340 kWh and total
consumption in morocco=8236 GkWh.
 Electricity production based on coal
sources=63.7%
 Based on hydroelectric= 2.1%
 Based on natural gases= 7%
 Based on oil sources= 22.2%
 Based on biomass=0.3%
 Based on solar energy=0.6%

5. As per the study BY: Benjamin
K.Sovacool, Oxford University’04.
Greenhouse gas emissions are different as per
different energy sources which we use.
 Wind =9 g/kWh
 Hydroelectric=10g/kWh
 Solar energy=13g/kWh
 Nuclear energy=66g/kWh
 Geothermal energy=38g/kWh
 Biomass=14-35g/kWh
 Heavy oil=778g/kWh
 Coal=1050g/kWh
So in 1990’s total greenhouse gas emission was
around=40 million tonnes

6. But now our mission for 2012-2020:
We are going to more focus on
renewable sources and we would like to
apply here one innovative thing that is DC-
AC hybrid grid.
 We are proposing some sites for it as per
theirs suitability. And we are going to
reduce the size of coal based power plants
as we have a lot of renewable sources.
Just we have to use them.
The geography of Morocco spans from
the Atlantic Ocean, to mountainous area,
to the Sahara (desert).

7. So we have a wide scope to use all types of
renewable energy sources. And it is one of the
highest rates of solar insolation of any country
about 5000 hours per year of sunshine and about
11-20 kWh/m2.
And wind speed is also about 15-16km/hrs and
so many geothermal zones are also available.
 And so we are also taking care of 30%
increased load demand here.
Hence we are suggesting some of the sites with
proposed capacity.

8. Solar energy:
 ‘Tan-tan’ and ‘Tagora’ in Sahara desert (200MW and
220MW)
Wind energy:
ON-shore
Rabat (22MW), Larache (14MW), Asilla (16MW), Tangiar
(17MW)
OFF-shore:
Two units (600MW per unit) in near to coast region in
Atlantic Ocean.

9. Geothermal energy:
In Atlas Mountains, there is some geothermal zone
which has 600-700 degree centigrade temp. Below 20-30
meter so we are going to use this energy and propose a
plant for 10 units (each units 400MW).
Hydroelectric energy:
Tiznit (1800MW), Taza (1400MW), Nador (2200MW),
Berrechid (2500MW)
Tidal energy:
In Palk Strait (650MW)
Biomass:
Marrakech (200MW), Agadir (150MW), Sallat (100MW)

10. (AS PER SURVEY OF ELECTRICAL COMMISSION
OF AFRICA’10)
 Electrical power consumption (kWh per
capita) = 876 kWh and total consumption in
morocco=12236 GkWh. And among them,
 Electricity production based on coal
sources=42.7%
 Based on hydroelectric= 12.1%
 Based on natural gases= 09.2%
 Based on oil sources= 8.7%
 Based on biomass=9.2%
 Based on solar energy=13.3%

11. Again as per the study BY: Benjamin
K.Sovacool, Oxford University’04.
Greenhouse Gas emission is reduced
up to 32.5% and it will be 28.4 million
tonnes.
{WE ARE PROPOSING THIS SITES AS PER GEOLOGICAL AND
ALL REQUIRED CONCERNS}
