The Algerian Ministry of Energy and Mines announced that the country’s caretaker government intends to resume work on the solar energy project, which was supervised by the German foundation “DESERTEC”; and indicated that a memorandum of understanding will be signed between the parties involved in the project soon.
According to the statement issued by the ministry, on 4th of December, this step aims to “develop the axes of cooperation with the German (Dii Desert Energy) in the field of renewable energies,” in addition to “enhancing the capabilities of producing and integrating renewable energies into the Algerian energy matrix”.
