Title
Renewable energy clusters: the cases of leading countries, lessons applicable to Morocco
Abstract
Environmental issues have grown from marginal concerns to one of the biggest global challenges for economies and societies. The easiest, quickest and most effective way of driving down greenhouse gas emissions and the best chance to stop climate change’s process is by moving to an energy system based on renewables. The development of renewable energy clusters is one of the factors that promote renewable energy production. The primary aim of this paper is to offer valuable insights, catering to the needs of both researchers and practitioners, regarding conditions that supported or hindered the expansion of renewable energy clusters in the leading renewable energy-producing countries, i.e., to present the case study’s research on renewable energy clusters. Using statistics and archival analysis, an overview of leading countries in renewable energy and the experience associated with the performance of renewable energy clusters will be provided. The research results and insights apply to the Moroccan case to boost the development of Moroccan renewable energy clusters and economic and political decision-making.
