A 30-MW solar park that is to be built in Beni Ounif in the Bechar district as part of the 1-GW initiave could begin generating power at the end of next year or the beginning of 2024 at the most up to date, Ismail Mougari told state-owned news agency Algeria Press Service.
The clean power created by the Beni Ounif solar farm will be sold exclusively as well as completely to state-owned electrical power and also gas representative Sonelgaz for a duration of 25 years, Mougari claimed.
The call for tenders for the deployment of 1 GW of solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) capacity throughout Algeria opened in December. The target date for submitting proposals was set for June 15 but was once again prolonged following a request by neighborhood and global capitalists who need more time to perform in-depth economic as well as technical researches.
In the public auction, the state will certainly allocate the total capacity in great deals of between 50 MW and also 300 MW. As several as 11 sites have actually already been selected for the solar plants.
A few days ago, South Africa''s Algeria 2GW solar project, which has been under tender since last year, finally broke ground. The first shovel of earth is located in the Algerian Sahara, covering an area of about 400 hectares (988.4 acres), with a capacity of 200MW, and is expected to be completed within 14 months. This is a milestone in the advancement of the local energy transition program.
The construction is said to be just one of the original plans. In March 2024, local state-owned Sonelgaz announced that it had signed 19 contracts with domestic and foreign companies for the construction of 20 solar projects with a total capacity of up to 3GW, with tenders to be completed in two stages.
The first was a tender for 2GW of solar power plants launched in February 2023, the winner of which was announced in November of the same year. The tender attracted companies from a wide range of countries, and in the end Algeria signed 14 contracts with eight bidders. It is worth noting that out of these 14 contracts, the construction of 9 power plants was awarded to Chinese companies.
The details are as follows:
The consortium formed by the reorganization of China International Water & Electric Corporation (CWE) and China Nuclear Industry Huaxing Construction (HXCC) Corporation won five projects with a total capacity of 780 MW:
(1) Batmet 220 MW power plant in M''sila Wilaya;
(2) Gueltet Sidi Saad in Laghouat Wilaya 200 MW power plant in Laghouat Wilaya;
(3) Douar El Maa 200 MW power plant in El Oued Wilaya;
(4) Abadla 80 MW power plant in Bechar Wilaya;
Shanxi Installation Group will build a 220 MW solar power plant at Ouled Fadel in Batna Wilaya.
China State Construction will develop a 200 MW plant at Tendla in the El M''ghaier Wilaya.
PowerChina NTL-SinoHydro will build a 200 MW plant at Laghrous.
PowerChina Zhongnan Engineering Corporation will build a 150 MW plant at Khanguet Sidi Nadji, both located in the Biskra Wilaya.
According to China Tendering & Bidding Public Service Platform data, Chinese companies'' PV module procurement winning manufacturers are also mostly well-known Chinese PV companies or Chinese-foreign joint ventures, such as TWSolar, LONGi, Trina, Canadian solar and so on. This is an announcement on China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC)''s solar panel winning bid announced on this website in February this year:
In another 1GW tender, the construction of two of the power plants was contracted by an Algerian company, while the other two were shared by Algerian and foreign joint ventures.
Earlier, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has asked Sonelgaz to install 15GW of renewable energy by 2030, of which the 2GW tender is the first phase. Meanwhile, according to Algeria''s Renewable Energy Development Plan 2022, the country''s renewable energy capacity will reach 22 GW by 2030, of which solar PV will account for 62%.
However, solar power will only account for about 1.7% of Algeria''s installed capacity of 460MW by 2022 and less than 1% of its power generation of about 690 GWh. With the country''s strong push for renewable energy, this percentage is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. A number of global research firms have also issued optimistic forecasts for the overall PV market in South Africa.

Sonelgaz is on the verge of finalizing contracts with 19 national and international firms to commence the construction of twenty photovoltaic solar power plants. This development marks a significant stride in Algeria''s ambitious renewable energy agenda, particularly within the scope of the 1000-megawatt and 2000-megawatt projects, with the ultimate goal of generating 15,000 megawatts of solar electricity. This initiative is anticipated to result in substantial savings of natural gas, amounting to several billion cubic meters annually.
Professor Boukhalfa Yaïci, Director-General of Algeria’s Green Energy Cluster, announced on national radio yesterday Sonelgaz’s intention to sign multiple contracts with national and predominantly Chinese companies today for the establishment of 20 photovoltaic solar power plants. These projects, aligned with the 2000-megawatt and 1000-megawatt initiatives, will involve Algerian firms overseeing 42% of the project executions.
The 2000-megawatt initiative involves building 15 photovoltaic solar power plants spread across 12 provinces, with each plant having a capacity ranging from 80 to 220 megawatts. Similarly, the Solar 1000 project includes the installation of five plants across five provinces, each with capacities ranging from 50 to 300 megawatts. These endeavors form integral parts of the overarching 15,000-megawatt program, with plans for similar projects in the country in the near future.
In terms of the project schedule, Yaïci projected a timeframe of 22 months for the completion of both initiatives, with certain plants anticipated to commence operations gradually within the current year.
These projects also hold potential for exports, with ongoing discussions between the European Union and Algeria. Yaïci emphasized Sonelgaz''s pivotal role in the nation’s energy transition strategy, aiming to progressively incorporate renewable energies, particularly solar power, into the national electricity mix.
In terms of financing, Yaïci clarified that Algeria would entirely fund the projects but highlighted the potential for additional financing sources such as public-private partnerships and foreign direct investment. He also noted that the projects would surpass the initially set 35% integration rate, resulting in significant natural gas savings and potentially saving six to eight billion cubic meters annually upon completion of the 15,000-megawatt solar project.
Addressing inquiries about global progress in photovoltaic technology accessibility and affordability, Yaïci acknowledged Algeria’s lag in solar energy development compared to global trends. Yet, he voiced hope that current endeavors would facilitate the development of a specialized domestic solar sector, in line with international progress in deploying renewable energy.
