LOOKING AT ALGERIA Energy and Income

For a forward-looking analysis of Algeria's energy sector, it is essential to know the country's indicators in order to better understand its rent policy. The depletion of hydrocarbon resources calls for a new source of income. The transition to economic diversification is underway. Strengthening the power grid could make electricity an exportable product. The country must take advantage of the presence of hydrocarbon resources and rents to implement all the projects that will replace them. Energy and rents have built Algeria, and will continue to build it, if the mastery of the technologies inherent in new energies is matched by excellence in the execution of projections for the new Algeria, which has had to cope with two shocks: one popular, the Hirak, and the other global, the Covid-19 pandemic. This work takes a look at Algeria's progress since independence, with a view to forecasting the integration of renewable energies into the energy mix.
