Algeria has initiated a renewable energy plan to produce 15 gigawatts (GW) of electricity and attract investment in green hydrogen. The plan encompasses solar, wind, and water power to meet domestic electricity demand and allow for exports.

Energy Minister Mourad Adjal announced the project during a visit to renewable energy sites in Tipaza province, where solar and wind stations are under construction. Phase one aims to generate approximately 1,100 megawatts (MW) starting in June, contributing to a broader 3,200 MW renewable initiative. The strategy seeks to diversify energy sources and support sustainable development while focusing on green hydrogen as a key component for local energy production and environmental protection.
