This feed-in tariff mechanism was introduced in Algeria to speed up renewable energy deployment and help government to diversify its national energy mix. It is a main financial mechanism supporting government in achieving renewable goals set in “Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan 2011-2030”.
The scheme entered into force in spring 2004 being a first REFIT system in Africa.
Law 04-92 obliges renewable system operator to connect power plant to the national grid. RES-E purchase is guaranteed up to the national quota (set per project per year). Purchaser of the RES-E is a state-owned utility Sonelgaz.
Technologies eligible to benefit from the scheme: hydropower, wind, CSP, PV, solar thermal, cogeneration, waste to energy and hybrid plants.
Plants with generation capacity under 50 MW are eligible for REFIT.

Hydropower: 100%
Wind: 300%
Solar PV: 300%
CSP: 200%
Solar thermal: 200%
