SPE (Société Algérienne de Production de l’Electricité), a subsidiary of the Sonelgaz group, has signed six contracts for the construction of CCGT power plants in Algeria, with a capacity ranging between 1,200 MW and 1,600 MW each. The six projects are part of Sonelgaz's 2013-2017 development plan and will require a total investment of about US$4bn.

The construction of the 1,280 MW Kais CCGT plant in the Khenchela wilaya was awarded to GS-Daelim. They are all expected to be commissioned in 2017.
