Algeria Advances Renewables Plans With Solar And Wind Tender

Algeria Advances Renewables Plans With Solar And Wind Tender

Algeria is moving forward with ambitious plans to derive 40% of domestic energy from renewable sources by 2030 with the launch of a tender seeking technical assistance with the construction of photovoltaic solar power plants and wind farms. The deadline for offers, to be made in two sealed envelopes � one containing technical specifications and the other price � is 16 July with bids to be opened in public the same day. Offers are to remain valid for a further 120 days.

The tender, organized by state gas and electricity firm Compagnie de l�Engineering de l�Electricite et du Gaz (CEEG), does not specify the number, size or location of plants envisaged. However Algeria�s national renewable energy development plan calls for the installation of an ambitious 22gw of renewable capacity by 2030 (MEES , 30 January). This target envisages the installation of around 60 solar power plants by the latter date, although this number includes thermal solar as well as photovoltaic plants.
