Rabat – Morocco’s electricity regulator has set for the first time a clear price for surplus electricity fed into the national grid by renewable producers and self-generators.
The board of the National Electricity Regulatory Authority (ANRE) approved tariffs that will apply from March 1 to February 28, 2027.
The decision concerns surplus power produced under Laws 40-19 and 82-21, which frame renewable energy production and self-generation in Morocco.
The newly adopted tariff sets the compensation that producers can receive when they sell excess electricity to operators of the national grid under Law 13-09 on renewable energy and Law 82-21 on self-production.
ANRE fixed the price at 21 centimes per kilowatt-hour during peak hours and 18 centimes during off-peak hours.
For the first regulatory window, the authority opted for a single tariff structure that applies to all installations, with a distinction based solely on time of use rather than on technology or project size.
The rates apply to high- and extra-high-voltage transmission networks as well as to medium-voltage distribution networks.
The electricity regulator has yet to determine the tariff for low-voltage connections, which will require a dedicated regulatory and technical framework.
Officials described the one-year period as a transitional phase. The shorter timeframe should allow ANRE to align tariff calendars across the sector and conduct a broader review of the pricing framework once this first cycle ends in early 2027.
The authority has signaled that adjustments may follow after that assessment.
The pricing structure also needs to remain compatible with Morocco’s ambition to accelerate clean energy deployment without placing excessive pressure on the system.
ANRE described the publication of the surplus tariff as a new milestone in the gradual construction of a coherent and adaptable regulatory framework.
The next building block will concern the distribution service contribution provided for under Law 82-21, which remains to be set.
The ANRE board also approved annual adjustments to network usage fees. As of March 1, the tariff for the use of the national transmission network (TURT) will stand at 6.85 centimes per kilowatt-hour.
The medium-voltage distribution network tariff (TURD) will reach 6.07 centimes per kilowatt-hour, while remuneration for system services (TSS) has been set at 6.81 centimes per kilowatt-hour.
Earlier this month, ANRE also strengthened visibility in the sector by approving and publishing the national grid’s hosting capacity for 2026-2030.
The capacity was set at 10,429 megawatts, 1,091 megawatts more than the 2025-2029 projection and 3,193 megawatts above the 2024-2028 outlook.
