Law 82-21 — Article 33
Does your solar installation already exist? Regularize it now.
Decree 2-25-100 was published in the Bulletin Officiel on 9 March 2026 and entered into force on 9 June 2026, and the ANRE decision sets the buy-back tariff for the surplus. Since that date, the Law 82-21 regime applies to every self-production installation — right down to those put up long before the text.

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 for medium, high and very high voltage (MV/HV/EHV) only.
Not yet published
The low-voltage (LV) buy-back tariff — the declaration regime that covers almost every residential installation — remains unpublished, with a timeline mentioned around 2027, unconfirmed. The Article 33 regularization window, however, is open today, regardless of this tariff.
The text
What Article 33 says
Article 33 of Law 82-21 grants operators of existing installations a window of 18 months to file a regularization request. This window has been open since 9 June 2026: file now. A regularized installation is legally secure; an installation that is not regularized is in an irregular situation.
Who is concerned?
- Any self-production solar installation commissioned before the regime came into force — villa, warehouse, hotel, farm.
- Grid-connected or off-grid, whatever the power.
- Without a declaration, without a connection agreement or without authorisation under the applicable regime.
Regularization in 5 steps
- 1
Technical inventory
Survey of the existing installation: installed power, connection mode, voltage level, protection and metering equipment.
- 2
Determining the regime
Depending on the power and the connection, the installation falls under declaration, connection agreement or authorisation (decree 2-25-100).
- 3
Building the file

Follow-up through to compliance
Tracking the review, responding to requests for additional documents, and where applicable a technical upgrade of the installation.
