Executive overview
Why this report matters
Summary Insight: Office National de l'Électricité et de l'Eau Potable is central to Morocco’s response to prolonged drought, declining reservoir reliability, groundwater pressure, and rising urban and economic demand. This report examines how national water planning, desalination, treated-wastewater reuse, aquifer recharge, inter-basin transfers, network efficiency, renewable energy, and regional governance reform are reshaping the country’s water-security architecture.
This Our Future Water Intelligence report provides an independent assessment of ONEE’s climate-resilience strategy, non-conventional water portfolio, investment requirements, institutional role, financing architecture, and long-term operational risk.
National Water Plan 2020-2050 total investment envelope, with PNAEPI 2020-2027 at 143 billion MAD and ONEE's Equipment Plan 2025-2030 committing 220 billion MAD across electricity and water sectors.

Buyer relevance
Who the report is for
- Utility Executives & System Operators: Assess how national production, bulk transmission, desalination, treatment, storage, transfers, and network-efficiency programmes are being coordinated.
- Regulators & Policymakers: Examine how water legislation, basin governance, regional service reform, national planning, and climate-adaptation priorities affect institutional accountability.
- Infrastructure Investors & Financiers: Evaluate sovereign support, development finance, public-private delivery, energy exposure, project sequencing, and long-term capital requirements.

Decision scope
Questions answered
Why is ONEE strategically important to Morocco's climate-resilience agenda?
ONEE connects national water-production planning with treatment, bulk transmission, electricity supply, and regional service delivery. Its institutional position makes it central to implementing source diversification while maintaining water quality, continuity, operational efficiency, and financial control.
What is the central infrastructure transition examined in the report?
The central transition is the movement from heavy dependence on rainfall-fed reservoirs and stressed groundwater toward a diversified portfolio incorporating seawater desalination, reuse, managed recharge, transfers, efficiency, and improved system interconnection.
How does governance reform affect ONEE's operating role?
Governance reform places greater emphasis on ONEE's national production and bulk-supply functions while regional entities assume broader responsibility for local distribution services. Effective implementation depends on clear asset boundaries, coordinated planning, reliable data, commercial agreements, and enforceable performance responsibilities.
Why is the financing architecture a central investment issue?
Morocco's water transition requires simultaneous delivery across production, transmission, reuse, efficiency, and regional infrastructure. A coordinated financing architecture is therefore necessary to allocate construction risk, maintain affordability, mobilise development capital, and prevent fragmented projects from weakening national system performance.

Inside the report
Analytical coverage
Architectures: Climate-Driven Water Scarcity
Assesses how recurrent drought, reduced reservoir reliability, groundwater overexploitation, uneven resource distribution, and increasing demand establish the physical basis for a diversified national water strategy.
Enablement: Non-Conventional Water Resources
Examines desalination, treated-wastewater reuse, managed aquifer recharge, inter-basin transfers, demand management, and non-revenue-water reduction as an integrated climate-adaptation portfolio.
Resolution: Multi-Creditor Financing Architecture
Evaluates how sovereign expenditure, development-bank lending, bilateral finance, public-private partnerships, domestic financing, and results-based programmes support long-cycle water infrastructure.
Alignment: Governance and Institutional Restructuring
Analyses how water legislation, Hydraulic Basin Agencies, regional multiservice companies, central government institutions, municipalities, and ONEE divide responsibility for planning, production, transmission, and service delivery.
Capability Building: Energy-Water Integration
Explores how ONEE’s combined electricity and water responsibilities can support renewable-powered desalination, energy-efficient treatment, coordinated grid planning, and lower exposure to long-term power-price risk.
