Project description
Advising Morocco about future energy security
The International Energy Agency (IEA) works with countries around the world to shape future energy policies. In Morocco, the IEA, in collaboration with the Moroccan Agency for Energy Efficiency, will explore the viability of electric cooking. The aim is to expand access to cleaning cooking options and increase the use of renewables in the power supply. The EU-funded Morocco project will support the analytical work carried out in the context of the IEA-Morocco Joint Work Programme. It will include capacity building and training in data and statistics, as well as modelling and support for the decarbonisation programme. The IEA will also host webinars and provide advice on further energy price liberalisation and energy security in the oil, gas and electricity sectors.
Objective
The proposed Action will support analytical work carried out in the context of the IEA-Morocco Joint Work Programme (JWP). Under the JWP, which came into effect on 28 June 2017, the IEA will provide technical support and advice to assist Morocco in developing a strategy to design an integrated assessment of long-term low carbon energy transition pathways.
The IEA-Morocco work programme will include capacity building and training in data and statistics; modelling and support for the de-carbonisation programme. The IEA will also provide advice on further energy price liberalisation and energy security in the oil, gas and electricity sectors. It will also advise the Moroccan Ministry of Energy, Mines and Sustainable Development (MEMDD) and related stakeholders on optimal technologies and best practices that can be implemented to help Morocco attain its Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy targets. It is anticipated that EU support will cover the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy work streams outlined in the JWP.
In addition to on-site visits, IEA experts will host interactive webinars in English with Moroccan energy efficiency stakeholders on mutually agreed priority areas. The IEA could also assist MEMDD and the Moroccan Agency for Energy Efficiency (AMEE) in assessing the economic and other conditions for a push towards clean, electric cooking. The main purpose of this activity would be to ensure that energy efficiency measures are accelerated and run parallel with renewable energy deployment.
This proposal relates to item 57 in the Horizon 2020 Work Programme for 2016-2017. This action will be instrumental in supporting Morocco’s transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system, in particular in Horizon 2020 priority areas such as reduction in energy consumption and carbon footprint; generation and transmission of lower-cost, low-carbon electricity; new knowledge and technologies;
