Algeria Advances 3,200 MW Solar Project by 2025
Lives in: Algiers, Algeria November 18, 2025 Algeria has fast-tracked its ambitious solar energy program, unveiling fresh details of a 3,200 MW solar plant rollout that is now moving into the
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.
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.
Towards this end, Algeria launched a tender for a one-gigawatt solar energy project in 2021, comprised of building five power generation sites ranging from 50 to 300 MW each.
Algeria currently generates a relatively small amount of its electricity (e.g., three percent or 686 MW annually), from renewable sources, including solar (448 MW), hydro (228 MW), and wind (10 MW).
