Algeria’s Solar Power Push: First 400 MW Set to Launch by End of 2025
Algeria’s Ministry of Energy and Renewable Energies announced on Monday that the initial two photovoltaic solar power plants, part of the ambitious 3200 MW project, are slated to begin operations before the end of 2025. This signifies a significant step in Algeria’s commitment to renewable energy and contributes to its broader national strategy in the African tech landscape.
Key Solar Projects in Development
The two solar plants, located in El Ghrous (Biskra province) and Tendla (El-Meghaïer province), will each have a production capacity of 200 MW. According to the ministry’s statement, construction at both sites is making “notable progress.” These plants are part of a larger initiative involving 22 solar facilities. These facilities represent the initial phase of the national renewable energy program. This program seeks to commission a total of 15,000 MW by 2035. Contracts for this 3200 MW project were signed in March 2023. Furthermore, the Ministry highlighted progress on other fronts, reporting that over 93,320 agricultural operations have already been connected to the electricity grid. This is a major step in improving the quality of life in rural Algeria.
In conclusion, this announcement highlights the government’s dedication to accelerating its renewable energy ambitions. The impending launch of the first solar plants marks an important step towards diversifying the country’s energy sources and reinforces Algeria’s role in the development of renewable energy within Africa.
