Analysis
The most recent figure for renewable energy electricity output in Morocco is 4,410 GWh, measured in 2015. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 23.8% on the previous year and up 272.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, renewable energy electricity output in Morocco peaked at 4,410 GWh in 2015 and was at its lowest, 443 GWh, in 1993.
That places Morocco 82nd out of 233 countries with data for 2015, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
