Advancing Renewable Energy Sustainability In Algeria: A Strategic Analysis Of Major Solar Power Projects
Authors : Hellabi Zoubeyda .
Abstract
This paper examines Algeria's ambitious solar energy development strategy, focusing on the five most significant photovoltaic projects that form the backbone of the nation's renewable energy transition. With an exceptional solar potential averaging 3,000 hours of sunshine annually and some of the highest solar irradiation rates globally, Algeria has embarked on an aggressive expansion program targeting 115 GW of clean electricity generation by 2035. Through detailed analysis of projects totaling over 2,500 MW across 15 provinces, this study evaluates the technical, economic, and strategic dimensions of Algeria's solar roadmap, including the 1,000 MW, 2,000 MW, and 3,000 MW programs managed by state utility Sonelgaz. The research highlights significant international partnerships, particularly with Chinese and Turkish companies, examines implementation challenges, and assesses the implications for regional energy security and climate commitments. Findings indicate that successful execution of these flagship projects could reduce natural gas dependency for power generation from 98% to approximately 73% by 2030, while creating an estimated 300,000 jobs and positioning Algeria as a potential renewable energy exporter to Europe.
