Morocco has committed to phasing out coal power by 2040, conditional on receiving adequate international support, according to its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
The North African country also pledged to eliminate coal power unconditionally by the 2040s, marking its first official timeline for coal phase-out since joining the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) in 2023.
In an October 23 press release by PPCA, the organization stated that Morocco plans to triple its renewable energy capacity to over 15 GW by 2030. The country will also focus on improving electrical grids and expanding energy storage facilities as part of its transition to cleaner energy sources.
