The World Bank has had a longstanding strategic dialogue with Algeria on the sustainability of its energy sector. Technical assistance focuses on two key areas: supporting the development of a bankable wind energy
By incorporating biomass, cogeneration, geothermal energy, and solar energy after 2021 through the national renewable energy program, Algeria hopes to establish itself as
Main objective of the Algerian Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan is to expand usage of renewable energies and to diversify energy sources in the country. Goals: To install 22,000 MW of power generating capacity from renewable sources between 2011 and 2030 (of which 12,000 for internal usage and 10,000 MW for export);
Green hydrogen (GH 2) is produced using renewable energy resources (RERs) such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy.However, relying solely on a single source, H 2 production systems may encounter challenges due to the intermittent nature, time-of-day variability, and seasonal changes associated with these energies. This paper addresses
Algeria is a large oil and gas producer and exporter. In 2015, the country updated its Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan to 2030, and put greater focus on the deployment of large-scale renewables, including solar PV and ons
Algeria''s energy transition plan consists of three structural components - a new government ministry, a regulatory reform, and a new national renewable energy company. • Ministry of Energy Transition and Renewable Energies (METRE): In June 2020, the government created METRE, the first of two new bodies to manage and carry out the transition
The country''s commitment to reducing reliance on hydrocarbons aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and transition to sustainable energy systems. Investing in renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind power, can not only decrease the nation''s carbon footprint but also create new industries and job opportunities.
In this chapter, we explore the contributions to SDG 7 and SDG 13 offered by three alternative energy pathways designed for Algeria using TIMES-DZA, a bottom-up energy systems optimization model widely employed for informing public policy decisions related to energy planning.
Enhancing the resilience of the energy system (RES) is critical to build a modern energy system and increase economic sustainability.However, the effects of RES on economic sustainability and the pathways for enhancing RES are not well known. To this end, the study first identifies the determinants of RES using a panel regression model, and then integrates it into
The analysis found a growing interest in sustainable energy transformation in Algeria, and the government has set ambitious targets for reducing the country''s dependence on fossil fuels, in which it identified several key factors that drive renewable energy transformation in
The implementation of any new system comes with various challenges that can be alleviated using artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, big data analytics, spontaneous Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, and online asset management systems, and selecting the best methods to provide cost-effective resilient systems is critical.
Algeria is putting into place plans to increase renewable energy capacity over the next 20 years and set renewable energy targets to be met by 2030 that range up to 40% of the total energy mix.
For example, the official U.S. Federal Energy Management Agency (FEMA) manual on mitigation of urban hazards does not mention energy system resilience. 18 Similarly, a recent World Bank report noted that "the energy sector is under-represented in both peer-reviewed literature on adaptation and in related investments and actions."
The World Bank has had a longstanding strategic dialogue with Algeria on the sustainability of its energy sector. Technical assistance focuses on two key areas: supporting the development of a bankable wind energy program and assisting in the preparation of a strategy to promote renewable energy for various consumer types.
The combined effects of climate change and urbanization have also emphasized the critical need for sustainable and resilient energy systems. Urbanization is occurring at an unprecedented rate, particularly in developing countries, and has led to an increased demand for energy in urban areas. Urban overheating and the rising standards of living
• Policies to achieve climate resilience and a just energy transition in Africa should be inclusive, "leaving no one behind." This transition requires close consideration of the equity implications and challenges associated with prevailing energy poverty, low energy consumption and energy needs for economic growth and transformation.
In this chapter, we explore the contributions to SDG 7 and SDG 13 offered by three alternative energy pathways designed for Algeria using TIMES-DZA, a bottom-up energy systems optimization model widely employed for informing public policy decisions related to
By implementing regulatory mechanisms and institutional strategies, stakeholders aim to ensure the reliability, adaptability, and resilience of energy grids under severe weather circumstances. These efforts contribute to minimizing the impact of weather-related disruptions on customer services and fostering sustainable urban energy systems.
The energy system is undergoing a massive transformation to both mitigate and adapt to climate change. The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, increased electricity demands from electrification, and price volatility have created a more urgent need for carbon-free, cost-effective, and resilient power.
One promising solution is integrated renewable energy systems (IRES), which offer low-emission energy supply systems and proximity to end consumers. Compared to traditional or single-source energy supply systems, IRES have potential to reduce carbon emissions by 10 % to 50 % and can achieve a substantial 42 % reduction in operating costs.

By incorporating biomass, cogeneration, geothermal energy, and solar energy after 2021 through the national renewable energy program, Algeria hopes to establish itself as a prominent participant in the production of electricity from the photovoltaic and wind sectors.
developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided
Solar and battery storage systems are also being deployed to ensure a more reliable and sustainable energy supply, making Puerto Rico a model for resilient energy infrastructure. Lessons Learned The modernization of Puerto Rico''s grid underscores the importance of integrating microgrids and renewable energy sources to enhance resilience. By
Leveraging energy productivity for sustainability: The findings highlight the critical role of energy efficiency and sustainable consumption practices in converting energy productivity gains into environmental benefits for Algeria. To enhance the country''s environmental sustainability, the following policy strategies are recommended:
