200MW+300MW! Two Algerian PV Plants
One of the solar PV projects, located in Megayel province of Algeria, with an installed capacity of 200MW, was bagged by CSCEC (China
Building on the Solar 2,000 MW and Solar 1,000 MW programs launched by Algeria's state-owned company Sonelgaz, which include a wide range of solar energy initiatives, the government aims to diversify its revenue streams and reduce reliance on natural gas, which is currently primarily used for power generation in the country.
Among them, the 233-megawatt photovoltaic project completed in 2016 was Algeria's first new energy project and also the first large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power station project in Africa. It was honored with the Luban Prize for Overseas Projects in 2018-2019.
The two photovoltaic projects have a capacity of 220 megawatts and 150 megawatts, respectively, and will be constructed by POWERCHINA using an EPC model. The two projects are parts of the 15 gigawatts photovoltaic network planned and constructed for Algeria by 2035.
The state-owned China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) began building a 300 MW solar power plant in Algeria's Oued Province in March 2024 as part of the Solar 1,000 MW program. The project is slated for completion by late 2025 or early 2026.
Algeria's Hamdi Eurl won two 80 MW plants and domestic PV panel maker Zergoun, alongside Ozgun, secured 80 MW in Guerara. The 19 projects represent an investment of €1.8 billion ($1.96 billion) and the solar power prices proposed by the bidders ranged from €0.54/W to €0.81/W, with an average price of €0.625/W.
“In total, Algeria has an assembly capacity of 500 MW for solar modules, which is expected to increase to 600 MW to 700 MW by the end of 2025,” said Clean Power's Bakli. Alongside Zergoun, the manufacturer Lagua Solaire has 200 MW of annual capacity for solar panel production in Algeria.
