How can the Moroccan electric system achieve long-term sustainability?

However, more needs to be done for the Moroccan electric system to achieve long-term financial, energy, and climate sustainability. Moving forward, continuation of energy subsidies and tariff reform, and acceleration of the incorporation of renewables are instrumental to the success of the National Energy Strategy and NDC.
