The Ministry of Energy Transition and Renewable Energies of Algeria has launched a tender under its "Solar 1.000" solar development programme, aimed at adding 1,000 MW of solar capacity in Algeria. The project will consist in creating project companies (SPVs) to develop solar PV power plants ranging between 50 MWp and 300 MWp for a total capacity of 1 GW across Algeria. Eleven potential sites were identified in November 2021, located in the El-Bayadh, Ouargla, El Oued, El M'Ghair, Ghardaïa and Bechar wilayas. The tender is open to projects planned with foreign financing and imposes domestic requirements for cables, modules, and mounting structures. Bids will have to be submitted by 30 April 2022 and the winners will sign 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs).
Algeria aims to auction another 1 GW/year of renewable capacity in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
