1. Objective : Meeting the growing demand for electricity (doubling by 2020 and quadrupling by 2030);

2. Challenges :

– Heavy dependence on imports (more than 97% of Morocco’s current energy needs are currently imported);

– increasing volatility in the World prices of fossil fuels;

– Stringent environmental regulations and climate change concerns;

– Need to preserve the purchasing power of Moroccans and strengthening the competitiveness of national industrial fabric.

Involvement of private investors in the electricity generation business

Morocco’s legal framework contemplates two structures under which private investors can get involved in the generation business : 1. Public Private Partnership – PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) with public entities (ONEE or MASEN) under a BOOT

scheme;– Concession Period :

Wind : 20 years Solar : 25 years Coal : 30 years

– Guarantee of the economic balance of the contract

2. Law 13-09 governing electricity generation from Renewable resources

6


Main Provisions of the law 13-09 (1/2)The main provisions of the new law enacted in 2010 are :

1. Production and Sales of the electricity generated from renewable resources are liberalized;

2. The law allows the sale of energy output to final customers connected to the national grid (VHV, HV, MV), (ii) entities designated by Moroccan Government and (ii) to Export;

3. The law contemplates that a generation plant to seek a temporary permit;

4. Owners will have access to the Grid through an Access agreement to be concluded with the transmission system operator (TSO);

5. The concession has a term of 25 years (to be renewed for a subsequent period). Project assets will be transferred to the Moroccan State free of charge at the expiry of the concession period.
