 Next step – medium-long term will be the domestic valorization of gas
resources?
 E&S awareness is growing, as a consequence of Project Financing strategy
and increased complexity.
 Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN) aims to build 2,000 MW of
solar integrated projects by 2020.

The Transition to the new
Energy Mix is already
under-way. The question
is no longer “if” but “how
quickly”…………….
COP21 as game-changer
for Energy Production &
Consumption schemes?
How Megatrends will
play?
Stakeholders : managing
expectations with
transparent and clear
communication is key
