27 Support of the program in terms of training The program will be accompanied by a training 27 ENR Development requires quality training in human resources. In this framework the government creates the IAER which plays a fundamental role in training efforts thus ensuring a qualitative development of ENR in Algeria. Agreements with universities and research organizations (CREDEG, CDER, UDES) are the first procedures to implement in addition to adaptation programs of training centers and universities.

28 Management program in terms of manufacturing The program of renewable energy development will come with an industrial strategy that will increase the rate of integration of ENR sectors for more than 80% by It will promote the participation of the national tool in the process of implementation of the program,

29 Management program in terms of production For PV (integration rate of the Algerian industry 60%) This should be achieved through the implementation of a manufacturing PV modules with a capacity of 116 MWC / year, from the group SONELGAZ and whose commissioning is scheduled for late (integration rate of the Algerian industry 80%) This should be achieved by building a silicon manufacturing plant, the capacity would be between 2,500 and 3,000 tons / year. Manufacturing inverters, batteries, transformers, cables and other equipment used in the construction of power.

30 Management program in terms of production For the CSP : (a prediction rate of 50% integration through the implementation of (03) projects: 1/construction d une usine de fabrication :de miroirs, d équipements de fluide caloporteur et de stockage d énergie et d équipements du bloc de puissance These projects will be carried out in parallel with actions to strengthen the capacity of engineering, design, procurement and implementation : providing an integration rate higher than 80%. Providing an extension of production capacities units.

31 Management program in terms of production For wind By 2013: Launch of studies for the development of the wind industry : a forecast integration rate of 50%, thanks to the implementation of the following actions: 31 1 / Construction of a plant for the manufacture of mats and rotors of wind turbines. 2 / Creation of a network of national subcontracting for the manufacture of equipment for the nacelle. 3 / Development of the activity of engineering and design capabilities, procurement and realization : integration rate should be above 80%, thanks to the expansion of production capacities.

32 Management program in terms of research and development 32 Algeria promotes research to make of the PGM a catalyst for the development of a national industry that add value to different Algerian potentialities (human, material, scientific as research centers affiliated companies as GREDEG, other organizations, like APRUE cooperate with research centers attached to MESRS (CDER / UDES / URAER / URERMS / URMER / UDTS

33 Expected results 33 Savings of 600 billion dinars m3 of natural gas. - Half of this volume will be maintained for the next decades - The other half exported generate additional revenue for the country. Creation of more than 200,000 direct and indirect jobs, including 100,000 jobs in the export. Emission reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.

34 Means of implementation 34 Implementation of the program is assigned: To SONELGAZ and research centers for the production of electricity National Fund for Renewable Energy (2010 created by the Finance Act), will provide the necessary financial support)

35 EnR developpement is booming Conclusion 35 economically viable solution to meet the growing demand for energy In Algeria, two major objectives: Mastering technology Establish a local industry of ENR equipment The partnership is recommended to achieve these goals.
