Analysis
Morocco recorded 11.5 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.8% on the previous year and up 160.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Morocco peaked at 11.5 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 0.366 terawatt-hours, in 1984.
That places Morocco 63rd out of 80 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
