This paper explores Algeria’s efforts to transition to renewable energy, improve energy efficiency, and achieve sustainable development. It highlights the country’s ambitious goals, such as generating 22 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030, and examines the challenges it faces, including economic constraints, technological gaps, and policy implementation. The paper also discusses opportunities for Algeria, such as leveraging international partnerships, fostering innovation, and creating jobs in the renewable energy sector. By adopting a comprehensive approach that combines economic diversification, environmental protection, and social development, Algeria can achieve a sustainable and resilient future, contribute to global efforts to combat climate change while ensuring long-term prosperity for its citizens and its significant renewable energy potential, particularly in solar energy, which puts it well positioned to diversify its energy mix and reduce its carbon footprint.
