Alongside Zergoun, the manufacturer Lagua Solaire has 200 MW of annual capacity for solar panel production in Algeria. The production plant of Algerian telecommunications and renewable energy company Milltech has a facility in Mila, in the east of the country, with a production capacity of 100 MW for M3-based modules. Manufacturing hub
By the end of 2023, Algeria had 437 MW of solar generation capacity, according to the national Commission for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (CEREFE). The country has an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and global horizontal irradiation of almost 1,700 kWh/m²/year in the north and 2,263 kWh/m²/year in the south.
The country has an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and global horizontal irradiation of almost 1,700 kWh/m²/year in the north and 2,263 kWh/m²/year in the south. Nevertheless, nearly 100% electrified Algeria generates 99% of its energy from domestic gas.
To gradually replace its gas and oil exports, Algeria aims to position itself on the international energy scene as a supplier of blue hydrogen (produced by steam reforming gas equipped with carbon capture technology) and green hydrogen (produced via electrolysis powered by renewables).
