Anticipation on energy needs to support social and
economic development is a fundamental issue , to insure
and forsee the offer.

A population of 40 millions,
Electrification rate of 99%
Natural gas pipe penetration rate of
53%,

Algeria in brief (2/2)
Algeria’s challenge
 Covering its actual energy needs of 61 TWh
 Being prepared to satisfy the futur needs of 170 TWh by
2030
 Preservation of fossil ressources, gas natural in
particular ,
 Support the development of alternative energies , and
energy efficiency.
3
Algerian energy model (1/2)
 Algerian energy model
ressources as natural gas.
mainly
based
on
fossil
 Organizing the transition toward other energies to insure
a sustainable development to preserve fossil ressources
to the next generations and other valuable uses.
 Renewable energies are the alternative despite their
actual cost barrier.
4
Algerian energy model (2/2)
The Acknoledgment of :
 The availability of hydrocarbons in a long term,
 The development of alternative sources of energy
 The climat changes and sustainable development ,
 The renewable technologies progress and important
solar et wind existing potentials,
Make the renewables issue, particularly solar energy ,
unavoidable.
Moreover, they are suitable for decentralized uses to meet the
needs of rural populations or living in remote areas
Indeed, with almost inexhaustible renewable energy potential ,
mainly solar and wind, it is obvious that an important role will
be reserved to them in Algeria’s future prospects.

Inventory of RE resources (5/5)
Geothermal potential :
important in the north of the country ( nearly 240 thermal
sources with temperature ranges between 19 ° C to 98 ° C)
Hydropower potential :
estimated at 0,5 TWh/year, negligible compared to solar
and wind potentials.
10
Algerian legal and regulatory
framework for renewables
 Four (04) specific laws (electricity, renewable, energy
management, program on scientific research and
technological development),
 Creation by law of a "National Fund for Renewable
Energies and Cogeneration"
Regulatory Bills:
 Grant accorded for premiums
diversification of electricity production,
for
costs
of
 Feed-In Tariffs for wind power and solar photovoltaic,

RES : an asset for Algeria (1/2)
• Widely used, renewable energy will firstly save fossil
resources and secondly increase the export potential of
natural gas.
• Currently, Algeria has no industry able of produce
converters that transform the solar and wind potential in
final energy
• Necessity to add to the development of renewable
energy the establishment of a scientific and industrial
environment to provide the necessary facilities for the
development of renewable industry.
• Algeria, which has a high potential for renewable energy
in solar and wind aims to be an industrial technology and
know-how provider, to satisfy its own needs and target the
export of equipment.
12
RES : an asset for Algeria (2/2)
The development of renewable , is not only an alternative
for the preservation of hydrocarbons but also an asset.
In this vision, the government should promote an
environment capable to absorb the basic technologies
allowing the localization of manufacturing and services.
This could be achieved by relocating from the North to the
South and also through a South-South collaboration.
This approach will encourage our companies to keep up
with the technology and services and, also, anticipate
competition in future mutations in the renewable fields.
13
Vision of Algeria (1/2)
To realize its vision , Algeria has defined :

A strategy: implementation of a global approach to
satisfy local energy needs.

A principle: localize the manufacturing of equipments.

A target
: build an industrial energy system
integrating the entire value chain of
equipment manufacturing, construction
services, operations and maintenance.
14
Vision of Algeria (2/2)
 This was undertaken by the national Program for the
development of renewable energies and energy efficiency
adopted in 2011 and updated in 2015.
 This aims to achieve a ratio of around 30% in the national
consumption of electricity by 2030.
 The massive introduction of renewable in the energy mix is a
major challenge to preserve fossil resources, diversification
of electricity generation and contribute to the protection of
the environment.
15
RES program 2015-2030 (1/2)
To achieve the assigned targets, the program aims to
install by 2030 :
 13 500 MW PV
 5 000 MW Wind Power,
 2 000 MW CSP with storage

400 MW in Cogeneration,
 1 000 MW Biomass

15 MW Geothermal.
16
RES program 2015-2030 (2/2)
In addition to the national renewable energy program,
10 000 MW are dedicated for exportation.
However, they are conditioned by the investment
guarantee and access to external electricity markets
17
Concrete actions
Actions decided :
 Creation of a fund for renewable energies (FNER)
 Introduction of incentives such as access to land,
 Development of local engineering through
partnerships.
 Spliting energy projects construction.
 Using local skills in design, manufacturing and
construction.
 Partnerships for construction and operating
manufacturing facilities to satisfy the local market
as well as regional markets
18
Strategy of introducing
energy renewable
This strategy will be undertaken in three (03) stages steps:
•2014-2016: pilot projects to test the different technologies,
•2015 -2016: beginning of program implementation,
•2016 - 2020: Large-scale implementation.
19
Promotion of wind energy
For wind power, reaching a rate of 50% of equipment
localization by 2020:
Realizing a partnership to build:
 wind turbine masts factory from 2017,
 manufacturing plant for wind rotors from 2017-2018,
 creating a national subcontracting network
manufacturing nacelle equipment,
 Promoting the emergence of Algerian EPC works
capacities.
20
The challenge (1/2)
The challenge:
 Development of an energy mix
 Mastery of technology in engineering field and
production facilities supported by the development of
R&D
Indeed, Algeria has major assets it wants to prevail for
success in the field of renewable, and achieve assigned
goals and carry on, really, a sustainable development
project.
21
The challenge (2/2)
To achieve its goals, Algeria implemented a
partnership policy toward with international industrial
groups to manufacture equipments in Algeria and master
renewable energy technologies.
Aiming to promote :
Local suppliers networks, employment and
engineering activity.
An environment able to absorb technologies by the
localization of manufacture and services.
Standardization of systems and equipment to set up a
real market.
22
Conclusion (1/4)
 This approach to develop renewable energies may be an
example to follow, although conditions and characteristics
may be different from one situation to another.
 With a plenty renewable energy resources respecting
environmental requirements, Algeria want to benefit
through modern technologies to enhance the creation of a
local industry.
23
Conclusion (2/4)
 All this require much more time and financial means. But
it is a necessity for our countries in order to apprehend
competitiveness and win market shares in renewables
based on local industry.
 To boost the renewable energy development , Algeria
must rely on its human resources, energy and economic
potentials, while promoting the development of
cooperation and partnership among countries as well as
with partners in line with such approach.
 Today, sustainable development issues goes beyond the
satisfaction of energy needs.
24
Conclusion (3/4)
It is about to launch the foundation of sustainable
development based on:
 Partnership,
 Research and synergies capitalization,
 Technology and know-how transfer,
 Development of a local equipment manufacturing
industry,
 Setting a network for R&D laboratories to develop
innovative technologies and processes,
 Developing local expertise in the management,
operating and maintenance of renewable plants.
25
Conclusion (4/4)
 Algeria does not want to remain a simple provider of
hydrocarbons
 It has the will to become an actor on the world scene of
renewable energies for the benefit of its people.
 It has already identified what seems essential and is
committed to satisfy its long term energy needs.
 These actions comply with the strategic objectives of
access to energy for all.
