Algeria and Portugal may collaborate on renewables: Algeria’s President Abdelmadjid Tebboune landed in Lisbon yesterday where he met with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and discussed upping renewables-focused partnerships (watch, runtime 2:40). Tebboune also met with Spanish Prime Minister Antonio Costa and signed a cooperation agreement said to focus on expanding bilateral trade including renewables, according to the Algerian State Press.

REMEMBER- Algeria is looking to supply Europe with clean energy: Algeria charged state-owned gas company Sonelgaz with the production of 15 GW from renewables last January and will invite bids from local and international firms for phase one of the project — with a capacity of 2 GW — by the end of 1Q 2023. The country has a 25 GW electricity production capacity and is working on completing studies on the export of electricity to Europe through subsea cables, Algerian Energy Minister Mohammed Arkab said back in April, without naming the entities or countries involved. The Europe-bound electricity will be produced by gas-operated power plants as well as solar plants that are still being developed by Algeria.
