 Creation of the National Agency for the Renewable Energy and Energy
Efficiency Development (ADEREE), in charge of :
 Promoting renewable energy projects
 Increased energy efficiency
 Implementation of Atlas wind and solar Demo for Applied Research Establishment of the "Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy" focused on :
 Study and design solar program Promotion, investment, financing and implementing projects
 Contribution to the development of expertise, research and solar industry
 Management and monitoring of the implementation of solar programIEEJ: August 2012 All Right Reserved

MAIN BOTTLNECKS IN POLICYFORMULATION IN MOROCCO❶ Review of formulating energy policy when the context
change in the perspective of :
 Integrating new issues induced by the change of thecontext and Coordinating different choices made in different
periods
 Making the processus of formulating much more
evolutionary❷ Unbundling economic growth and energy consumptionIEEJ: August 2012 All Right Reserved

KEY EXPECTATIONS FROM THIS PROGRAM→ Acquire new methodological approaches and tools to :❶ Integrate the change of context (internal and externalenvironment) to review the National Energy Policy❷ Declination of the national energy strategy on a regional
level (subnational)❸ Establish a system of assessment of the implementationof energy policy❹ evaluate the impact of the choices made in National
Energy Policy on the national economy❺ Unbundle economic growth and energy consumption fora developing country
