In response to mounting water scarcity and energy demands, a study by Moroccan researchers reveals that floating solar panels on the country's dams could revolutionize energy production while conserving vital water resources. By covering just a fraction of dam surfaces, Morocco could not only meet its national electricity needs but also significantly reduce evaporation, positioning itself as a leader in renewable energy innovation.
Morocco is investing in solar energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, with the goal of generating 52% of its electricity from renewables by 2030. A new report Morocco’s cumulative solar PV capacity is expected to 2.97 GW by 2028.
