Law 82-21 explained simply
Since 9 June 2026, Law 82-21 on the self-production of electrical energy and its decree 2-25-100 apply. The rule is simpler than it looks: two numbers — your power and your connection level — are enough to place you in one of the three regimes below, whether your installation is new or already in place. Here's how to place yourself, without jargon.
Where does the law stand? · verified on 3 July 2026
In force
Decree 2-25-100 (Bulletin Officiel of 9 March 2026, in force since 9 June 2026) and ANRE decision 04/26: 0.18–0.21 DH/kWh surplus buy-back, but only for the connection-agreement and authorisation regimes, at medium, high and very high voltage (MV/HV/EHV).
Not yet published
The buy-back tariff for the low-voltage (LV) declaration regime — the one that covers almost every villa — is not published yet, with a timeline mentioned around 2027, unconfirmed as of today.
Already have an installation in place? The Article 33 regularization window is open today, regardless of this tariff — regularize your existing installation →.
Declaration
Below 11 kW at low voltage — or off-grid, on an isolated site — you have nothing to get validated: a prior declaration, filed before commissioning, is enough. It's a formality, not a request for authorisation, and it's the case for the vast majority of villas.
Connection agreement
Above the declaration threshold and up to 5 MW, as soon as you inject onto the grid at low or medium voltage, you need to secure a connection agreement from the grid operator before starting — ONEE in most regions, or the local utility where there is one (Lydec in Casablanca, Redal in Rabat, Amendis in Tangier). This is the typical case for business sites.
Authorisation
From 5 MW, at medium, high or very high voltage, the scale changes: a full, formal authorisation must be obtained before breaking ground. Few private rooftops are concerned.
And if my installation already exists?
The law does not forget the installations put in place before it. Its Article 33 has opened, since 9 June 2026, an 18-month window to bring them into line: that's the time you have to file the missing paperwork — declaration, connection agreement or authorisation, depending on the regime that applies to you above. Regularised within that window, an existing installation joins the legal framework just like a new one. Once the window closes, it stays in an irregular situation under Law 82-21, with the penalties that brings. There is nothing to gain by waiting, and the process can begin today.
