Algeria's electricity and wind, solar and energy storage
📌

How much electricity does Algeria generate a year?

Algeria currently generates a relatively small amount of its electricity (e.g., three percent or 686 MW annually), from renewable sources, including solar (448 MW), hydro (228 MW), and wind (10 MW).

📌

How is Algeria diversifying its energy sector?

Algeria is progressing with its strategy to diversify its energy sector, with a focus on a balanced mix of renewable energy, green hydrogen and traditional oil and gas development.

📌

Does Algeria have solar energy resources?

Algeria is one of the countries with one of the highest solar potentials in the world, estimated at 13.9 TWh per year. Algeria has solar energy resources. Algeria has joined the Desertec Industrial Initiative, which aims to use Sahara solar and wind power to supply 15 per cent of Europe’s electricity needs by .

📌

What is the energy mix in Algeria?

In , Algeria's energy mix was almost exclusively based on fossil fuels, especially natural gas (93%). However, Algeria has enormous renewable energy potential, mainly solar, which the government is trying to harness by launching an ambitious Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program.

📌

Is Algeria a sustainable country?

A leading producer of natural gas and liquefied natural gas, Algeria also has ambitious renewable energy and energy efficiency programs that promise to expand its energy resources and support sustainable development.

📌

How much energy will Algeria produce by ?

Algeria aims to reach 15,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity generation capacity based on renewable resources by , with a growth rate of MW/year. Furthermore, around MW of off-grid renewable energy installations are expected to be put on stream by . A new law on energy transition is being prepared.
