<p>About Us and Message from the Chairman</p>
It was a great pleasure as CEO of ONEE to hold the chairmanship of the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership (GSEP) for a second year and continue deepening the connection between the organization and the African and Arab worlds.
The past year has been a landmark one for the energy sector around the world. The uncertainties raised by the current energy crisis have shone an even brighter light on the importance of swiftly electrifying and decarbonizing our economies. Beyond reducing CO2 emissions, accelerating the energy transition will bring about increased energy security and access for all, making GSEP’s goal of accelerating zero-carbon electrification more pressing than ever.
Throughout the year, GSEP has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to acting in pursuit of a sustainable energy future. Collaboration between utilities and with other stakeholders has been central; as we navigate the energy crisis, we all must work together to advance beneficial electrification in sight of achieving climate and development goals. To this end, GSEP has conducted numerous pioneering activities both internally and externally during ONEE’s chairmanship period, the highlights of which are presented in this report.
As ONEE passes the chairmanship to Hydro-Québec for 2023-2024, we look forward to continuing to collaborate with our fellow members in pursuit of the GSEP mission, as well as with partners from across the electricity value chain and beyond.
General Director, Morocco’s National Office for Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) and Chairman of the Board, GSEP
