Fez – Due to the crisis of the National Office of Electricity and Water, (Office National de l’Electricité et de l’Eau Potable), the Moroccan government is endorsing a national project that privatizes the production of electricity in Morocco.
This project aims to allow private sectors to produce electricity needed to satisfy the population through transferring needed megawatts. They need approximately 300 megawatts to access their network and then transfer the needed electricity from the production spot to the consumers.
Privatizing this sector is a crucial action to solve the actual needs of Morocco. The government is taking appropriate steps by targeting private companies that can facilitate the task of producing electricity and stabilize the socio-economic development of Morocco.
Implementing various alternatives to solve the crisis, the national office, Office National D’electricité (ONE), has proposed to start working with the network of Smart Grid to minimize the electricity consumption and the costs of production.
The future of this technique is so promising in Morocco, based on the use of the renewable energy and the regularization of its consumption through including the consumers in these national issues.
The Swedish company “Ericsson” has stated its readiness to provide Morocco by this technique of Smart Grid which can solve the national need according to Stefano G. Coiro, sales development Director in Morocco.
He said, “we are ready to provide all the Moroccan companies by this technology to facilitate its task of electricity production.”
