Project Genesis is a strategic sustainable development framework for Morocco to translate from being a net importer of energy and a country facing water shortage issues, into the number one producer both of clean renewable energy and water in the region.
This blog is meant as a compendium of my research, findings and thoughts concerning the viability, feasibility and opportunity of harnessing renewable energy to attain sustainable development in Morocco.
Morocco plans to invest $12 Billions in solar energy alone to develop 2000 MW of capacity by 2020. Similar efforts are vested in wind energy with another 2000MW of capacity by the same time frame. Harnessing renewables energies and accomplishing its full potential of clean energy, the Kingdom could evolve in a matter of years from being a net importer of energy and a country facing water shortages issues, into the number one producer both of clean renewable energy, water and essential food stuffs in North Africa region.
This vision relies heavily on the prime geostrategical position of the country and of an exceptional proximity to large energy and water markets such as Europe, and the MENA. Projections indicate global electricity demand will increase 80% by 2030, as for water several countries are already facing shortages and the trend seems to be on the rise.
