According to its missions and objectives, it contributed to the development, at large scale of renewable energies targeting the important energetic, economic and environmental stakes with the strategic use of this type of energy. The CDER has developed its activities, including research studies, publications, awareness campaigns, training courses, conception and execution of projects. It provided technical expertise and assistance for the realization of technical, economic and financial feasibility studies. The center worked in collaboration with almost all Mediterranean countries, notably through information exchanges made possible by regular meetings, but also by specific partnerships in the construction industry in Tunisia, Lebanon and Egypt. In 2009, Morocco has adopted a new law that stipulates the transformation of the Centre for the Development of Renewable Energy (CDER) into an Agency for Development of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ADEREE). One of the ADEREE priorities is the execution of a project with the United Nations Development Program that aims at implementing a national energy efficiency program within the construction industry. Moreover, its responsibilities for energy efficiency include: • Prepare a national plan for renewable energy and energy efficiency and submit it to the government • Conceive and implement action plans in the domains of renewable energy and energy efficiency as well as environmental programs linked to its activities in the sector • Coordinate the program of energy audits and ensure its success • Propose to the government modifications of the incentive framework for renewable energy and the more efficient use of energy • Propose and put in place norms and standards for materials and equipment that consume energy • Conceive and implement pilot projects to demonstrate the viability of new solutions for renewable energy and energy efficiency or help their adoption.
