- Morocco: “The national market offers huge, but insufficiently exploited potential”-
Morocco aims high when it comes to employing solar technology: According to the Moroccan Plan for Solar Energy launched in November 2009, the total installed collector area is said to raise from 280,000 m² in 2010 to 1.7 million m² in 2020. Because the long-term support programme PROMASOL ran out at the end of 2009, a set of new measures are now being discussed and implemented. Solarthermalworld.org spoke with Said Mouline, Director of the National Agency for the Development of Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (ADEREE), about the progress of and support mechanisms for the solar thermal market in Morocco.

Promasol is a development programme built up in partnership between the GEF, the UNDP, the Italian Ministry for the Environment and Territory and several ministries in Morocco to improve the use of renewable energies through the implementation of appropriate financial mechanisms that will help creating a more efficient local market for solar water heating systems.
