Algeria has a wind energy potential of approximately 35 TWh/year. Nearly half of the country experiences significant wind speeds. The country's first wind farm, with an installed capacity of 10MW, is being built at Adrar and has substantial funding from state-utility Sonelgaz. Two more wind farms, each of 20 MW, are planned for development during 2014-2013.
Algeria is one of the countries with one of the highest solar potentials in the world, estimated at 13.9 TWh per year. Algeria has solar energy resources. Algeria has joined the Desertec Industrial Initiative, which aims to use Sahara solar and wind power to supply 15 per cent of Europe's electricity needs by 2050.
In 2010, Algeria's energy mix was almost exclusively based on fossil fuels, especially natural gas (93%). However, Algeria has enormous renewable energy potential, mainly solar, which the government is trying to harness by launching an ambitious Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program.
Taking into account the aforementioned, Algeria has immense solar and wind energy potential and evaluating its resources is a very important step in selecting optimal RES sites before any investments. However, the energy sector in Algeria has to overcome other barriers, such as the increase of energy demand.
