Abstract: To comprehend the global energy supply chain`s development and explore how Moroccan wind energy supply chain can be improved to be more localized and resilient, this paper examines wind energy supply chain dynamics through three-ways analytical framework: (1) a narrative analysis of global best practices and challenges, (2) a critical analysis of both international and Moroccan wind energy supply chain structures, and (3) conbination of a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis and Porter`s Five Forces of Morocco's wind energy ecosystem. The research presents, that while global supply chains face material shortage and logistical complexities, Morocco's emerging market uncovers twofold characteristics as a recipient of global technology transfers and as a potential regional hub with a distinct competitive advantage. The results show that Morocco can exploit its strategic 52% renewable energy target by 2030 by addressing vital weaknesses in national manufacturing capacity while leveraging international partnerships. This study contributes (i) a novel mixed analytical framework for wind energy supply chains, (ii) empirical validation of Morocco's positioning between global dependencies and local opportunities, and (iii) policy recommendations for supply chain localization that balance international standards with emerging market realities.
