Introduction
•
Because of the depletion of fossil fuels, the rise of prices, in addition
to the environmental considerations, the development of renewable
energy, is becoming more important throughout the world, as an
alternative for meeting energy needs in the long term. Technological
changes, make renewables accessible economically.
• Although, Algeria has an important hydrocarbon resources, it should
be prepared a transition to an energy mix through the integration of
renewables in its national energy system
The
renewable energy program, which aims to achieve an
integration rate of 40% of renewables by 2030 relys essentially on the
use of solar energy, regarding the important potential which has the
country.

Algerian electric system – Consistency 2010
• Interconnected network in the North covering over 96% of
national electricity demand, a production of 45 TWh in 2010 with
a transmission network of more than 21000 km;
• Interconnections with Morocco’s network ( 04 lines) and Tunisia
network ( 04 lines) ;
• 25 production sites in the big South to supply remoted sites
(Oasis);
• About 7 million electricity customers and more than 3 million gas
customers

Challenges and context for RE developement in
Algeria
Context
•
•
•
•
Development of alternative energy sources
Environmental issues (Climate Changes, ...) and sustainable development
Development of clean renewable energy industry
Availability of an important solar potential
Challenges
• Safeguarding of fossil resources and electricity production diversification
• Renewable Energy Development and Environmental Protection
• Diversification of the national economy and creation of a new socioeconomic dynamics through out the Renewable Energy,
• Acquisition of scientific and technical knowladge
• Establishment of an efficient and sustainable industry,
• Actor in the world market of the renewable energy
7
Targets for the renewable energy
development
• Ambitious target to raise Algeria at the rank of major actor in solar
energy industry :
- It is expected that about 40% of electricity produced for domestic
consumption will be from renewable energy sources by 2030.
- Implantation of renewable energy industries with a progressive
national integration.
• Development of solar energy (PV and CSP), wind and geothermal,
• Technology acquisition through the pilot projects and a looking of
strategic partnership
• The local manufacturing of equipment with a progressive industrial
integration
• Partnership between University and companies (for valuation of
research results)
• Accompaniment and support by a regulatory framework and
appropriate incentives.

Legal framework for RE developement in Algeria
 The law n°99-09 of July 28th, 1999 relative to the energy control;
(creation the National Fund for Energy Efficiency: NFEE)
 The law n°02-01 of February 5th, 2002, relative to the electricity and
the public distribution gas by pipes;
 The law n°04-09 of August 14th, 2004, relative to the promotion of
the renewable energies in the framework of the sustainable
development.
 The orientation law on scientific research and technological
development ,devoting as “PRIORITY“, the national research
program on Renewable Energy
 The finance Act 2010 (creation of National Fund for Renewable
Energy : NFRE)

Renewable energy potential in Algeria
Geothermal potential
More than two hundred (200) warm sources are inventoried in the
North of the Country. Approximatively A third (33 %) among it has
temperatures superior than 45°C. There are sources with high
temperatures which can achieve 118°C in Biskra.
Hydraulics
103 dam sites are identified. More than 50 dams are in operation.
12
Renewable Energy Projects and experiences
20 villages in the South of country are supllied by photovoltaic, about 1000
homes distributed on wilayas 04 (900 kWc)
Wilaya Tindouf
3 Villages
Wilaya Illizi
6 Villages
Wilaya Adrar
2 Villages
From this operation we get informed about:
 keeping the material in desert areas
 the adaptation of the service giving
 management and maintenance
 optimizing technical - economic systems
Wilaya Tamanrasset
9 Villages

CONCLUSION
The program for renewable electricity generation, which aims to install 12,000 MW by
2030 with an integration rate of 40% renewable energy in national electricity balance
in 2030.
The program covers two (02) phases:
 2011-2020, achievements of 67 projects, with a total capacity of 2600 MW (54 small
projects in photovoltaic, 6 big projects in CSP and 7 small projects in wind energy).
 2021-2030, installation of 9400 MW of renewable electricity generation.
The global cost of the renewable electricity program for the national market is about
60 billion US dollars.
 Volumes of saved natural gas for the period of renewable power plants operation to
be installed over the period of 2011 and 2030, reach to 282 billion m3.
Considering its impact on the national economy, the achievement of the program
will require government support in terms of facilitating collecting of necessary funds
and the compensation of additional costs resulting from the introduction of renewable
energies in the National Electric system.
