Development Issues of Alternative Energy in Algeria

Abstract:

Nowadays, global warming is central to all discussions, as governments are trying to make decisions in order to slow the greenhouse effect. This lead to the creation of “sustainable development”, which relies on renewable energies in order to preserve the environment. The development issues of renewable energy in Algeria drove the Algerian State to integrate it in the national energy mix. It is a major challenge regarding the preservation of fossil fuels, diversification of electricity production chains and contribution to sustainable development. Algeria launched a renewable energy development program going from 2011 to 2030 in order to revive economic growth in this country. The program recently concluded its first phase dedicated to pilot projects and testing various technologies available. The Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency Development Program (REEEDP), in the revised version by the services of the Department of Energy, has just been adopted with the conclusions highlighted by its first phase.the preservation of fossil fuels, diversification of electricity production chains and contribution to sustainable development.
