Ouarzazate Solar Power Station (OSPS), also called Noor Power Station (نور, for ) is a solar power complex and auxiliary diesel fuel system located in the region in , 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from town, in Ghessat rural council area. At 510 MW, it is the world's largest (CSP) plant.

Researchers in Morocco are studying ways to use solar and wind energy for a faster transition to a green economy. This documentary tells the story of Morocco's quest to produce clean, renewable energy. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.
With a favorable environment for climate-friendly investment, Morocco will likely soon become a center for green industrial energy production. This comes following decades of high energy dependence on external energy sources, which even in 2022 accounted for 90 percent of Morocco’s energy needs.
Morocco’s strategic initiative to replace coal power plants with natural gas combined-cycle power plants emerges as a potential solution to enhance power system resilience against water stress. The national plan aims to install an additional 2,400 MW of natural gas power plant capacity by 2030 and completely phase out coal-fired plants by 2050.
Production of energy from renewables lagged behind a little, at closer to 20% of the country's total in 2019. But the country has come a long way. Morocco has since pledged to increase the renewables in its electricity mix to 52% by 2030, made up of 20% solar, 20% wind and 12% hydro.
Yet Morocco has exceptional resources of wind and solar energy on land, and there is as much, if not more potential for the development of off-shore wind energy. Investing in this potential will place Morocco among the ranks of the largest clean energy-producing countries.
