Since 9 June 2026, industrial self-production is no longer a grey zone. Law 82-21 and its implementing decree 2-25-100 are in force. Every new or existing photovoltaic plant falls into one of three regimes, according to capacity and the voltage of the connection. Getting the file right is now part of project value — not an afterthought. 

The three regimes, in industrial language 

The declaration regime covers the smallest systems — typically under 11 kW at low voltage, or off-grid sites. That is almost never a factory on medium voltage. 

The connection-agreement regime is the one that matters for most C&I plants: factories, warehouses, hotels and logistics sites on medium voltage. You sign a standardised connection agreement with the distributor (ONEE or a local utility such as Lydec, Redal or Amendis). ANRE has published a model contract. Time limits for the distributor to answer are measured in weeks, not years, once the file is complete. 

The authorisation regime applies to the largest plants — in practice, installations above 5 MW, with a heavier instruction and a direct discussion with ONEE on high-voltage connection conditions. 

What you can inject, and at what price 

Self-producers may inject surplus into the public grid, capped at 20% of the plant’s annual production. For medium- and high-voltage connections, ANRE’s buy-back for the current regulatory window is 0.21 MAD/kWh in peak hours and 0.18 MAD/kWh off-peak. That is far below the industrial retail rate. The economics of a factory plant still sit in autoconsumption, not in selling leftover kWh. 

Network-use tariffs are also published: on the order of 0.0607 MAD/kWh on the medium-voltage distribution network. These figures belong in the financial model, not only in the legal memo. 

If the plant is already there 

Article 33 of Law 82-21 gives operators of existing self-production plants 18 months from entry into force to declare and regularise — in practice until around December 2027. Plants built in the previous legal vacuum should not wait. A regularisation file is cheaper than a penalty file. 

What a complete industrial file usually contains 

  • Single-line diagram, protection study and metering scheme. 
  • Proof of site rights (title, lease, industrial-zone authorisation). 
  • Sizing note that respects the 20% surplus cap and the actual load curve. 
  • Connection request to the relevant grid operator, using the ANRE model where applicable. 
  • For larger plants, the authorisation path with ONEE and any capacity-reservation check on the published hosting-capacity data. 

Green Taqa prepares this package as part of development, whether the client chooses EPC or a PPA. The legal step is not a separate consultancy if the developer already works the Moroccan C&I process end to end.
