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.
In Algeria, one the main issues for the integration of distributed RE systems is that the grid is designed for unidirectional energy flow from high voltage lines to low voltage distribution system.
The Algerian solar power supply chain grew significantly in the last decade and now seeks to add IPP development, engineering and design capabilities, EPC services, inverters manufacturing, storage solution manufacturing, universal certification expertise, and operations and maintenance services.
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).
Since less than 2% of electricity is produced from renewable resources, there is no actual grid integration issue of RE in the Algerian grid. But, the share of renewable energy is expected to reach 27 % of the electricity production by 2030.
Actually RE represents a minor part of the Algerian energy mix, but near futur large share of renewble ressources requires the full understanding of the local issues, taking into account the grid and the Algerian climatic conditions.
