AIX Algeria May24

Algeria’s multi-gigawatt solar opportunity – the routes and the risks


05 June 2024, 12.00 BST (GMT +1), Online, Zoom

The Algerian authorities are targeting a total of 13GW of renewable power.

This webinar, held on 5 June, examined this emerging opportunity – the context, the possibilities, the risks, and how to address them.

The first set of tenders totalling 3GW were mostly won by Chinese and local Algerian contractors, but senior industry sources in Algiers are saying that this is only the beginning, and that the market remains open.

Many of the existing bidders are also looking for equipment suppliers, engineering consultants and other types of support.

The webinar was chaired by African Energy managing director John Hamilton, with  participation from African Energy chairman Jon Marks and Algeria-based business consultancy Anzul’s director Oualid Khelifi.
