    Moroccan Ministry of Energy

    The Moroccan Ministry of Energy has called on McKinsey to help address the country's power cuts and resulting street demonstrations. Morocco is experiencing power cuts across the country due to insufficient electricity production to meet demand. Thermal power plants are defective and hydro power sources are constrained by drought, resulting in current production 30% below normal levels. McKinsey recommends increasing production through repairing reactors, buying new ones, and investing in solar and wind. They also suggest lowering consumption by promoting efficient appliances and enabling household solar installations. A long-term strategy is needed given population growth and risks of public resistance.

    Case McKinsey Morocco-Loic

    Subject: The Moroccan Ministry of Energy is calling on you because Morocco is experiencing power
    cuts and there are demonstrations in the streets. The ministry would like you to help them stop
    the demonstrations by finding a solution to the problem.

    Clarifying questions :
    -Is the aim to solve the electricity problem? YES

    -Is the electricity problem in the whole country or only a few areas? → All over the country

    -What are the different electricity suppliers? → The company Elec Distribution

    -Do we have several types of energy that generate electricity? → Solar at 5%, Hydro at 35%, Wind
    at 5% and Thermal at 55%.

    Structure: Solving the electricity problem in Morocco


    1) Assessment of electricity demand in Morocco (Demand

    • Household consumption
    • Consumption of the Public Service
    • Business Consumption

    2) Government assessment of electricity generation (Supply) →

    • Not enough electricity produced?


    o Not enough sources of production
    o Low effective production Malfunctioning
    • 2) Poorly distributed electricity?
    o Electricity transmission cable ) Not enough equipment 2) Does not work well
    (badly used or old)
    o Connection ) Not suitable 2) Does not work properly

    1) Assessment of electricity demand in Morocco (Demand)


    • Household consumption= (Moroccan population/#people per household)*penetration rate
    (=% of households with access to electricity)*average household consumption
    o Moroccan population = 36M
    o #people per household=4
    o Penetration rate= assume 100% even if this is not the case
    o Average consumption of a household (Do brainstorm) = 5 lamps that consume
    10W each, refrigerator 100W, household appliances 200W and TV 50W 400W on
    average
    The average consumption of Moroccan households is 3.6 GW

    • Consumption by companies= 2000 MW


    • Utility consumption= 2000 MW
    TOTAL ELECTRICITY DEMAND IN MOROCCO IS 7.6 GW
    2) Evaluation of electricity production (Supply)
    How many GW does the Moroccan government produce? 7.5 GW

    Do thermal power plants have problems? 1/3 of the thermal power plants are defective but also
    15% of the hydro power plants are no longer usable due to drought

    Thus the production today is : 7.5*5% + 7.5*55%*(1-1/3) + 7.5*35%*(1-15%) + 7.5*5%=5.6 GW 30%


    difference with normal production

     WE REALISE THAT THE MOROCCAN GOVERNMENT PRODUCES LESS THAN THE MOROCCAN
    POPULATION DEMANDS AND EVEN IN FULL OPERATION

    Solution:

    1. Increasing electricity production


    • Repairing thermal reactors or buying new ones
    • Investing in other solar and wind sources
    2. Lowering the population's consumption
    • Distribute and promote low energy appliances
    • Enabling households to obtain solar installations directly on their roofs
    3. Risks
    • Population does not support low energy appliances and solar panels (too
    expensive, theft etc.)
    • The population is growing and more and more households will have access to
    Electricity A long-term strategy is needed
