Algerian state-owned energy company Sonelgaz has broken ground on a 200 MW solar <\/strong>power plant<\/strong>, <\/strong>the first phase of a recently unveiled 3 GW solar initiative<\/a>, according to a statement<\/a>. The 200 MW project is located in the El M'ghair region and is expected to be completed in 14 months. <\/p>\n

About the first phase:<\/strong> The 200 MW first phase extends over an area of 400 hectares, and will be split into 20 solar farms, each with the capacity of 20 MW, Algerian Minister of Energy Mohamed Arkab said. The phase will be built using 346k solar panels, in addition to the control building, 20 transformers, and a 30 kilovolt substation. <\/p>\n

Algeria has big renewable energy ambitions: <\/strong>Sonelgaz awarded 20 solar projects with a total capacity of 3 GW to a mix of local companies and foreign companies last week<\/a>. The 20 solar plants will be constructed across 17 provinces and were tendered starting last October, attracting 20 bidders and a total of 77 offers. The companies awarded contracts, the investment tickets for individual projects, and the timelines for development were not disclosed. <\/p>\n

All part of a bigger plan:<\/strong> Algeria has handed Sonelgaz the responsibility of producing 15 GW of renewable energy by 2035 from renewables. The country had about 423 MW of solar capacity installed by the end of 2021, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
