FOUR STRATEGIC ORIENTATIONS

SOLAR & WIND NATIONAL PROGRAMS

Investing in the Energy Sector / SIE

ʺ SIE, the State financial tool dedicated to Energy ʺ

Positioning :

Co-developer in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency

State investor in Energy with a priority given to the RnE & EE

Fund leverage

Current missions :

National programs support

Mid Tension sector coverage, mainly through photovoltaic

Boost investment in Energy Efficiency in the Country

Industry support in SIE Domain (scope of SIE action)

The SIE supports the ONEE (Moroccan Electricity and

Water Board) in the implementation of the PNEI and

provides equity directly or indirectly to project owners.

Moroccan Solar Program

The SIE has been a 25% shareholder of the Moroccan

Solar Agency ever since its creation and participates in its

governance as a member of the Supervisory Board. This

project is in line with the large scale projects launched

within the framework of the High Royal Directives aiming

at mobilizing the national resources in renewable

energies and at protecting the environment.

National Wind Program (PNEI)

NATIONAL PROGRAMS

Investing in the Energy Sector / Industry in RnE & EE

ʺ Focus on the new SIE orientations Small projects ʺ

1 Mid Tension sector coverage

• Launch of the PV sector

• Distributed mini PV power plants targeting the cost reduction of

the energy pic during the day, and private sector

• Waste valorization

2 Energy Efficiency

• Boost private investment

• Two initial sectors :

State buildings with the objective to develop ESCO’s market

Street lighting with a local content

3 Support of RnE industry

• Development investment (not capital venture)

• Support industrial integration of National Programs

• Mid tension & EE sectors industries

• Competence sustainability in Morocco

MEDIUM VOLTAGE

Photovoltaic solar

Solar farms :

Photovoltaic mini plants in the integrated industrial platform at Kénitra (PII), Oujda (CPV), …

Development of a small 20 MW plant

Electricity production using waste form the Tiznit landfill through gasification

High capacity incinerators in the Médiouna region

Waste as a source of

energy

Energy Efficiency / PUBLIC LIGHTING MANAGEMENT BY A

SDL

This pilot project aims at equipping all the electricity poles in the city of Salé with low consumption

bulbs (i.e. LED or Light-Emitting Diode). The lighting network infrastructures will be updated and the

city will roll out an operational lighting policy suiting its needs. The objective is to dramatically reduce

the energy bill of the municipality. Short term results: energy saving by about 60% and reduction of the

power demand by 3 MW.

The public lighting management and the project’s operational steering will be entrusted to a SDL with

delegated management calling upon high level private expertise. This project’s success will set a

milestone to be used as a reference rolled out in several cities of the Kingdom to reduce the overall

energy bill of Moroccan municipalities.

MOSQUES PROGRAM

Objective : energy rehabilitation of the 15 000 mosques managed by the Ministry of

Habous and Islamic Affairs

Customer : Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs

Developer : SIE

Investment required : 200 million MAD

The SIE is signing a partnership agreement with the Ministry of Habous and Islamic

Affairs to assess the mosques’ energy profile and reduce their energy bill. The positive

energy mosques will be certified.

INDUSTRIAL UPSTREAM …… towards « Made in Morocco »

Industrial unit producing photovoltaic panels

Production of street lamps (LED, …)

Solar water heater

SIE projects’ portfolio (Extract)

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION UNIT OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

This project is about developing the first production

unit of photovoltaic panels « made in Morocco ».

The objective is to launch an industrial unit

specialized in the production of photovoltaic modules

, possibly photovoltaic cells, market permits.

On-going contacts.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION UNIT OF LED STREET LAMPS

This project is about developing the first production

unit of solar and LED street lamps « made in

Morocco ».

The objective is to launch an industrial unit

specialized in addressing the local and regional

market of public lighting with a comprehensive

product range also designed for the domestic market.

On-going contacts.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION UNIT FOR SOLAR WATER HEATERS

This project is about developing the first production

unit of solar water heaters « made in Morocco ».

specialized in addressing the local and regional

market with a comprehensive product range also

designed for social housing.

On-going contacts.

Investing in the Energy Sector / dedicated financial

vehicles

ʺ Development of dedicated financial vehicles ʺ

1 Renewable Energy Fund

• Launch of an investment fund dedicated to RnE to

be capitalized by Moroccan and International

private investors, alongside SIE

• 1 to 2 billion dirhams (~$240 million), 50% of

which to be contributed by Moroccan investors

and 50% by international investors

• Targeted projects : Mainly wind-farm projects to

be co-developed with a third-party, PV, Micro-

Hydrolic, Waste valorization

2 Energy Efficiency vehicle

• Targeted projects : State buildings & street lighting

3 Industry Funding vehicle

• Next to come
