The renewable energies are liable to be an important field of cooperation between our countries through investment projects, technology transfer initiatives and knowledge transfer.
fighting against climate change satisfying growing energy needs
enhancing energy efficiency
Renewable energy potential in Algeria
169.440 tetra Wh per year in solar energy of thermal origin 14 tetra Wh of photovoltaic solar energy Solar energy potential = 60 times the current electrical
consumption of the European Union 35 tetra Wh of wind energy It is possible to expand, With such potential, the use of
solar energy in order to increase its share by 6% in 2015 and 25% in 2050.
But
The renewable energies represent only 0,02% of the electrical consumption
Weaknesses: infrastructures + equipment
Principals of the Algerian policy regarding the development of renewable energy
The creation of joint-ventures with foreign operators;
Engineering and technology transfer; Equipment production in Algeria; Fostering electricity exportations from
Algeria to the European market in the long term;
An accurate estimation of the viability of renewable energy recovery at industrial scale;
The development of solar and wind energy.
