Morocco Commits to Phasing Out Coal Power by 2040 with International Support
Morocco has announced its intention to completely phase out coal power by 2040, provided it receives international climate financing. The country, which recently joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, is also rapidly expanding its renewable energy capacity to meet ambitious climate targets.
Morocco’s Coal Phase-Out Strategy
Morocco plans to completely abandon coal power by 2040 if it secures international climate finance, according to reports from the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA). The North African nation, which joined the coalition of approximately 60 governments in 2023, is seeking to accelerate its transition to natural gas and renewable energy projects.
