Over the past few years, the Algerian Government has paved the
way for renewable energy projects by enacting specific laws and
regulations, under the supervision of the Algerian electricity and
gas regulator (the CREG). Key principles have been laid down in
Algerian law in order to facilitate renewable energy projects, such
as the financial support scheme for promoting renewable projects,
the power purchase obligation and the priority access and injection
right.
Earlier this year, the Algerian Government published the
applicable feed-in tariffs (FiT) for wind and solar PV projects
with an installed power capacity over 1MW. Along with this
regulatory framework consolidation, the 2013 CREG'S Activity
Report has shown that the Transport System Operator1 and
the relevant Distribution System Operators2 (the DSOs)
are developing new grid capacities and upgrading their electricity
network.
