Algeria set to launch 1 GW PV tender

The Algerian authorities aim to launch a new solar tender by the end of October. The procurement exercise will be divided into 10 lots, ranging from 80 MW to 180 MW each. One Algerian think tank has said that it expects prices ranging from DZD 5/kWh ($0.036) to DZD 7/kWh.

Algeria‘s energy ministry has revealed that it plans to launch a tender for the deployment of 1 GW of solar capacity by the end of October.

Mouloud Bakli, the president of Algerian think tank Club Energia, said the tender might conclude with prices ranging from DZD 5/kWh ($0.036) to DZD 7/kWh.

“Given the latest capex balance-of-system figures in the market and harvesting yield in the North African region, we expect the tender will provide a double-digit internal rate of return,” he told pv magazine. “Several international Tier 1 independent power producers have already expressed their intention to participate in the tender.”

Bakli said he expects the power purchase agreements to adhere to international standards.

“Investors will be able to repatriate dividends in international currency,” he stated, noting that the PPAs will likely be similar to those that international players already use for desalination projects. “The awarded PPAs should have a duration between 20 and 25 years and the tender will be divided into 10 lots ranging from 80 MW to 180 MW each.”

The Algerian Renewable Energy Company (SHAEMS), which is jointly owned by state-owned gas giant Sonatrach and power utility Sonelgaz, will be allowed to take a share of up to 25% in the special purpose vehicles that will own the winning projects.
