Abstract

Algeria is one of the largest energy-producing and exporting countries in the world, and considering Algeria one of the three largest fields in the world in the field of solar energy, renewable energies as a clean energy can play an important role in adopting the principles of the green economy in Algeria. In this context,the Algerian government has adopted several programs and strategies to achieve the energy transition from hydrocarbons towards these clean energieswhich became an imperative and inevitable necessity in order to achieve the energy security. By the adoption of the national renewable energy development program 2011-2030, it is expected that about 40% of electricity produced for domestic consumption will be from renewable energy sources by 2030.This strategic choice is motivated bythe availability of a huge solar potential.To reach its renewable energy targets, the ministry of energy transition and renewable energy has launched in the second half of 2021, a call for investors for its megaproject of 1000 MW of solar photovoltaic power plants, the projects is divided into lots of 50 to 200 MW each.
