Morocco is preparing to launch a massive foray into clean energy with its ambitious 1.6 GW BESS projects. The National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) is expected to invite tenders for battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling nearly 1,600MW.
In June this year, the Moroccan government announced that Gotion High-Tech would invest $1.3 billion (US) to build a gigafactory for EV batteries. The initial planned production capacity is 20 GWh, with future plans to gradually increase it to 100 GWh, and the total investment is expected to reach $6.5 billion.
Additionally, Sunwoda is also setting up a battery production base in Morocco. The number of material manufacturers investing in Morocco is even larger. In April this year, Zhongke Electric planned to invest about $699 million (US) to implement an integrated base project for producing 100,000 tons/year of anode materials in Morocco.
Meanwhile, the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) is also in contention. It recently tendered for solar-independent power projects with battery storage. Riyadh-headquartered Acwa Power led the winning bids for the Noor Midelt 2 and 3 projects, each 400MW of solar with attached BESS.
Huayou Cobalt and LG Energy Solution will co-build a plant in Morocco, one for 50,000 tons of LFP annually and another for 52,000 tons of lithium conversion annually. In addition to abundant phosphate reserves, Morocco also possesses metal resources like cobalt and lithium needed for battery production and has cost advantages.
CATL has already planned over 100 GWh of production capacity at its European factories. Additionally, Sunwoda is also setting up a battery production base in Morocco. The number of material manufacturers investing in Morocco is even larger.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
