Algeria Focuses on Energy Security and Clean Power for 2027
Algerian Minister of Energy, Mourad Abdelkader, focused on the sector's priorities for the 2027 fiscal year, which include enhancing energy security, developing clean energy sources, and improving public services through a proposed budget of 123.4 billion Algerian dinars. The plan aims to ensure the supply of energy to citizens and the economy, with particular emphasis on connecting households to electricity—reaching a rate of 99% for over 12 million consumers—and connecting gas services, which has reached approximately 80% for the same number of users. The budget is distributed across three main programs: expanding electricity and gas networks, promoting renewable energies, and sector management, with an investment of 624 billion dinars in Sonelgaz projects in 2027. Additionally, 17 solar power plants will be fully operational, with a total capacity of up to 2,440 megawatts. The sector is committed to not raising electricity prices at present and is working on developing a national energy consumption model to ensure sustainable capacities. Legislative measures are also being implemented, including extending tax exemptions and adjusting fee collection mechanisms for electricity and gas consumption. Between 2024 and 2029, 4,000 workers will be employed, with a focus on new states and achieving comprehensive energy security.
