Morocco’s Institute for Research on Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), the international platform Green Energy Park will deploy its solar solutions for the development of electric mobility in Moroccan cities. This is part of a partnership on sustainability with Vivo Energy Maroc, the commercial representative of the oil company Shell.
The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is the need of the hour and priority particularly in the transport sector in Morocco. The players involved in this decarbonisation process are Vivo Energy Maroc, which markets fuels from the Anglo-Dutch firm Shell in the Kingdom of Morocco, and the international testing, research, and training platform Green Energy Park, which specialises in solar solutions. The two companies recently concluded an agreement for the deployment of technologies and charging stations for electric vehicles.
The two entities have chosen to pool their sustainability strategies, mainly to accelerate the energy transition. Vivo Energy Maroc plans to equip 30 Shell stations annually with photovoltaic panels to optimise energy consumption. The partnership is a collaboration between research and development (R&D) platforms and companies to enable all Moroccans to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In 2020, Vivo Energy Maroc installed Morocco’s first electric car charging station in Ben Guerir, 257 kilometres from the capital Rabat. The installation, called “iSmart”, has a capacity of 50 kW and a charging time of 30 minutes via an electric cable. With the recent creation of the intersectoral professional association for electric mobility (Apime), the deployment of such infrastructures will get strengthened in the years to come.

The new initiative supported by the National Federation of Electricity, Electronics, and Renewable Energies (FENELEC) announced that it would install 2,500 new charging stations for electric vehicles by 2026. These installations will be distributed in the main Moroccan cities, notably Tangiers, Rabat, and Casablanca. This will encourage the import of environmentally friendly vehicles into the Kingdom.
