The Algeria Power Generation Market is undergoing a structural transition as the country moves to expand its total installed capacity from 21,400 megawatts (MW) to 36,000 MW by 2028. This represents an estimated 45 percent expansion in grid capacity. High domestic consumption—where natural gas currently accounts for 96 percent of power generation—coupled with nearly 100 percent nationwide electrification, is driving the national mandate to diversify the generation mix. Algeria plans to integrate 15,000 MW of operational solar capacity by 2035, positioning the nation as a key energy hub in North Africa. Key Findings from the Report Installed Capacity Growth: Total domestic installed generation capacity is projected to increase by 45 percent, reaching 36,000 MW by 2028, up from 21,400 MW. Dominant Fuel Source: Natural gas accounts for 96 percent of installed generation capacity, but its overall share in the grid mix is targeted to drop to 84 percent as utility-scale renewables scale up. Solar Integration Target: Algeria aims to deploy 15,000 MW of renewable power capacity by 2035, adding roughly 1,000 MW annually, complemented by 1,000 MW of off-grid renewable installations scheduled for 2030. Shift in Demand Center: While the residential sector historically led power consumption at a 32 percent share, the industrial sector (30 percent) is projected to become the primary driver of demand growth due to manufacturing expansion and domestic resource-processing projects. Utility-Scale Solar Tenders: The nation’s mega-solar development, anchored by initiatives like the 4,000-MW Tafouk 1 solar program, mandates local content provisions to catalyze domestic manufacturing of modules, cabling, mounting racks, and power electronics.
