Tunisia and Morocco's Renewable Power Share Falls Short of Targets

Tunisia’s renewable electricity share reached only about 9% of the national mix in 2025, far below the government’s goal of 35% by 2030. The shortfall has contributed to a severe summer electricity crisis, with the state utility imposing widespread load‑shedding as demand approached the 6,000 MW threshold. The country remains heavily dependent on natural gas, which supplied roughly 94% of power generation in early 2026, while wind, solar and hydro together accounted for just 6%.

In Morocco, renewables have grown to roughly 24% of electricity generation in 2025, driven mainly by wind (7.14 TWh) and solar (2.57 TWh). Despite this progress, coal still dominates, producing 27 TWh—about three times the combined output of wind and solar. The increase in renewable capacity has helped diversify the mix but has not yet reduced the overall share of coal in the system.
