Renewable energy, Renewable energy potential, Wind energy, Solar energyAbstract
The transition of Morocco to sustainable energy production represents a paradigm shift in the global energy landscape. This article explores the central role of wind power and photovoltaics (PV) in Morocco's development agenda, focusing on their contributions to economic growth, environmental sustainability, and energy security. By harnessing its abundant natural resources, Morocco has established itself as a leader in renewable energies, taking advantage of its vast coastline and sunny landscapes to foster the expansion of wind and solar energy infrastructures
