| Description : |
In March 2009, the kingdom of Morocco defined a new national energy policy implemented by the Government and particularly by the Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment. It aims at improving energy security, at satisfying increasing demand, and at ensuring fair access to energy at affordable prices for the whole population. In this context, the specific aim of the budget support funded by the European Commission consists in contributing to the progressive integration of the Moroccan energy market with the European Union market, as well as the progressive integration of Morocco in the electric and gas Euro-Mediterranean markets. |
