Renewable energies: the cost of the gap, and how to measure it

The renewable energy sector in Morocco is experiencing growing dynamics, supported by favourable public policies and a commitment to energy transition. This sectoral case study aims to analyse the opportunities and challenges faced by companies operating in this field. Based on hypotheses and sectoral analyses, we propose a framework to optimise the performance and sustainability of renewable energy projects.

Method warning

A typical case, not a client

This study does not describe any real clients and does not report any results obtained from a client: our confidentiality commitments prohibit this. It sets out explicit working hypotheses, then derives orders of magnitude through calculations that you can replicate line by line. During a diagnosis, your figures replace ours.

The starting point

The modelled situation

Morocco has committed to an ambitious strategy for the development of renewable energies, aiming to diversify its energy mix and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. The country has significant potential in solar, wind, and hydraulic energy. However, companies in the sector must navigate a complex environment marked by regulatory challenges, increasing sustainability expectations, and the need to mobilise suitable funding. Stakeholders must also face increased competition and technological challenges while meeting the growing energy needs of an expanding population.

The calculation

Result, line by line

The analysis of the renewable energy sector in Morocco reveals significant opportunities, but also challenges to overcome. Companies must adapt to a rapidly changing environment while remaining focused on innovation and operational efficiency. Implementing the recommendations proposed in this study can help strengthen companies' market position and facilitate a successful energy transition. By integrating sustainable practices and engaging in strategic partnerships, companies can not only improve their performance but also play a key role in achieving national renewable energy goals.

The diagnosis

What we measure first

Complex regulation

Companies must adapt to a constantly evolving regulatory framework, which can lead to delays in project implementation.

Project financing

Access to suitable funding remains a major obstacle, limiting companies' investment capacity.

Evolving technologies

Rapid technological advancements require continuous investment in research and development to remain competitive.

Market awareness

There is an increased need for market awareness and education on the benefits of renewable energies.

The work plan

How the mission unfolds

1

Process optimisation

Establish effective internal processes to reduce costs and improve project profitability.

2

Strengthening partnerships

Establish collaborations with local and international stakeholders to share resources and expertise.

3

Technological innovation

Invest in research and development to adopt the latest and most efficient technologies.

4

Training and awareness

Develop training programmes for employees and awareness campaigns for the general public.

5

Diversification of funding

Explore alternative funding sources, including public-private partnerships and specialised investment funds.

The follow-up

The indicators implemented

Identified during the diagnosis and monitored throughout the mission: these are what make the result demonstrable, not just declarative.

  • Availability rate of installations
  • Gap between expected production and actual production
  • Rate of preventive maintenance completion
  • Number of on-site security incidents
  • Processing time for technical non-compliances
Clarity

What causes this type of project to fail

Poor project management+
Delays and cost overruns may occur due to inadequate planning.
Inadequacy of technologies+
The use of outdated technologies can compromise the competitiveness of projects.
Lack of training+
Poorly trained staff can lead to operational errors and decreased productivity.
Lack of communication strategy+
Failing to communicate effectively about the benefits of projects can harm public acceptance.
