Law 82-21: does your solar plant fall under the right regime?

The implementing decree of Law 82-21 — the Moroccan framework for electricity self-generation — came into force on 9 June 2026. It places every plant in a specific regime and opens, for some sites, the option of selling the surplus fed into the grid.

Why this concerns you, even if your plant is already running. The law provides a transitional regime for plants commissioned before the decree: they must be declared to the administration. Beyond compliance, the declaration is also what opens the door to selling the surplus — today lost to curtailment on most zero-export sites.

The three regimes

Under 11 kW

Declaration

Plants connected at low voltage. The lightest regime.

11 kW to 5 MW

Grid connection agreement

LV and MV networks. Technical file and hosting capacity check.

5 MW and above

Authorisation

MV, HV or EHV networks. Reinforced procedure and grid integration study.

Orientation test — 2 minutes

You get the applicable regime, your eligibility for surplus sales, and the list of documents to prepare.

Your plant

Curtailment is the rule on most plants installed before the new framework.

This test is a technical orientation tool based on the published thresholds of decree no. 2-25-100. It is not legal advice and does not bind JOTUNHEIM ENGINEERING. The regime that actually applies, the deadlines and the documents required are assessed by the administration and the network operator on the full file.
