Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan 2015-2030

Country / jurisdiction: Algeria · Year: 2015 · Status: In force · Level: National · Type: Voluntary

In 2015, Algeria updated its Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan until 2030.

The review of the Plan puts greater focus on the deployment of large-scale solar PV installations and onshore wind due to large technology costs decrease as well as introduction of biomass, cogeneration and geothermal technologies into the mix until 2020. CSP technology will be deployed with a delay due to still high technology costs.

The updated version of the Programme aims to install 4500 MW of new projects until 2020 and overall of 22 000 MW until 2030.

2030 Target capacity split is as follow:

Solar PV : 13 575 MW

Wind : 5010 MW

Solar thermal : 2000 MW

Biomass : 1 000 MW

Cogeneration : 400 MW

Geothermal : 15 MW

The increase of the renewable generation share could allow for 300 bln m3 savings in natural gas consumption.

Realisation of the Plan is open to both state-owned and private investors local and foreigners. Implementation of the Plan will be supported by the National Fund for Renewable Energies and Cogeneration (FNERC).
