Led by engineering companies Maire Tecnimont and Baker Hughes, the project will involve the construction of three gas boosting stations and an upgrade to the gas field's gathering system.
Algeria is advancing several key energy projects in 2025, aimed at increasing natural gas production, expanding electricity generation and enhancing renewable energy capacity.
How many MW does Algeria's new power plant generate?
Both plants, being developed by Algeria's state-owned Sonelgaz, will each generate 1,340 MW. Both projects are expected to start operations in 2025 and are expected to enhance Algeria's power generation infrastructure while supporting energy security and fuelling the country's economic growth.
Why are Algeria and Italy collaborating on a submarine electricity cable project?
In a move to strengthen energy ties with Europe, Algeria and Italy are collaborating on a submarine electricity cable project. This cable will facilitate the export of electricity generated from both natural gas and renewable energy sources in Algeria.
How will natural gas boost Algeria's energy exports to Europe?
These developments – spanning natural gas, electricity and renewable energy – will enhance Algeria's energy exports to Europe and expand its domestic capacity. Hassi R'Mel Gas Boosting Project The Hassi R'Mel gas field, one of the largest in the world, is central to a $2.3 billion project designed to optimize gas flow efficiency to Europe.
Combined Cycle Power Plants: Biskra and Bellara Algeria's electricity generation capacity is set to grow with the construction of two major combined cycle power plants: Biskra and Bellara. Both plants, being developed by Algeria's state-owned Sonelgaz, will each generate 1,340 MW.
First gas production is expected by 2025, positioning Algeria to increase gas exports amid anticipated demand growth in Europe. Submarine Electricity Cable with Italy In a move to strengthen energy ties with Europe, Algeria and Italy are collaborating on a submarine electricity cable project.
