According to the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy, studies have shown that the country has a high potential to exploit offshore wind, particularly along its Atlantic coast, where wind speed is high and where the shallow waters are suitable for fixed-bottom offshore wind.
Estimates of the technical offshore wind potential in Morocco by the World Bank Group show the country holds 200 GW of potential offshore wind capacity, and “only” 22 GW of it is most suitable for fixed-bottom wind turbines, while the remaining 178 GW are shown to be best tapped into through floating wind technology.
