- We introduce NourID+, a digital energy identity framework that addresses Morocco's need for trusted energy subsidy allocation through authenticated digital identity integration. NourID+ creates a strong foundation for future subsidy programs by unifying three government-issued and digitalized credentials: Moroccan national identity cards (CIN), cadastral plans, and property ownership certificates are transformed into unique digital energy IDs (DE-IDs) that map authenticated identities with specific properties and their energy consumption patterns. The system supports three property ownership profiles: farmers (landowners), entrepreneurs (factory or company owners), and households (house owners), as energy consumption is directly related to land ownership. NourID+ provides dual access through a government portal allowing officials to process DE-ID generation requests, as well as a citizen portal for DE-ID usage and energy monitoring. Our framework supports CIN upload with facial biometric matching, automated property retrieval through government APIs, and government officer approval workflow for DE-ID generation. After evaluation of the system, we demonstrate a reduction in verification time from weeks to minutes, with 98% accuracy of document validation. The proposed solution allows for targeted subsidy allocation of electricity based on actual consumption needs rather than estimations, potentially improving the efficiency of Morocco's significant energy subsidy expenditure.
