The market
The Algeria Renewable Energy Programme sets the national framework, supported by auction mechanisms and feed-in arrangements for wind and solar. Sonelgaz and its subsidiaries operate generation, transmission and distribution.
Algeria's position mirrors the Gulf's: a hydrocarbon producer using domestic renewables to free gas for export and to reduce the fiscal cost of subsidised power. That is a policy logic we understand well from twenty years working alongside oil and gas operators in the UAE and Oman.
