Algeria’s electricity and gas sector regulator has published the final regulation needed to allow the development of independent power projects (IPPs) in the renewables sector. On 30 November, the Commission for Regulation of Electricity and Gas (Creg) released a draft power purchase agreement for wind and solar projects. This is the culmination of a lengthy process of policy-making. Creg published the feed-in-tariff rates in April 2014 and other regulations in August 2013. Adel Baba-Aissa, director of UK-based advisory and project development company Renewable Energy Partner described the publication as “an exciting development – one that will kick-start the private IPP renewable energy market in Algeria”.
