The inauguration of the solar photovoltaic park in Biskra marks a crucial milestone for Algeria. Located in the 400-hectare municipality of Lagros, the plant will integrate over 330,000 PV panels. Energy Minister Mohamed Arkab underlined the importance of this project at the official ceremony, during which he laid the foundation stone for the solar park.
Economic impact and employment
The solar park site will generate 600 jobs during the construction phase and create 10 permanent positions once operational. This development makes a significant contribution to thenational and localeconomy, while strengthening the region’s power grid.
Technical planning and implementation
The project, which is scheduled to take 16 months to complete, is the fruit of rigorous planning. The companies that have won bids for these installations guarantee the use of cutting-edge technologies to maximize energy efficiency.
Expanding solar capacity in Algeria
This park is one of several projects initiated following the signing of contracts in March for the allocation of 3,000 MW of solar capacity. Another 200 MW wind farm has also been commissioned in Tindela, consolidating Algeria’s commitment to renewable energies.
Future visions and sustainability
Algeria plans to strengthen its energy independence and reduce its carbon emissions. These initiatives are part of a long-term strategy to integrate renewable energies into the national energy mix on a sustainable basis.
The Biskra solar park is a significant milestone in Algeria’s energy strategy, symbolizing significant progress towards greater energy autonomy and sustainable job creation.
