In a major boost to Algeria’s renewable energy ambitions, the globally renowned Chinese solar technology firm LONGi has formally expressed its strong interest in launching a large-scale solar panel manufacturing project in Algeria. The announcement came during an official meeting held this Tuesday between the Director General of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI), Mr. Omar Rekkache, and a high-level delegation from LONGi led by Mr. Jin James, the company’s Regional President for Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Described as one of the foremost players in the global photovoltaic industry, LONGi presented a detailed roadmap for its proposed project, which includes the full-scale production of solar panels on Algerian soil. During the meeting, the Chinese delegation outlined the technical and logistical requirements for the realization of the project, its various implementation phases, and the significant added value it is expected to bring to the Algerian economy and the energy sector.

According to official sources, the investment would not only contribute to Algeria’s growing renewable energy infrastructure, but also position the country as a regional hub for solar technology production and export. The project is expected to enhance local industrial capacities, create skilled jobs, and strengthen Algeria’s environmental commitments on the international stage.

In his remarks, Mr. Rekkache emphasized the Algerian government’s determination to facilitate this transformative investment. He confirmed that coordination is currently underway with the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Mines, and the Ministry of Renewable Energies, to ensure that all necessary conditions are met for the seamless implementation of the Chinese group’s project.

The Director General assured the Chinese delegation of the AAPI’s full support and reiterated the Algerian state’s commitment to providing a favorable business climate. He also underlined that Algeria’s recently reformed investment code offers substantial guarantees, incentives, and simplified procedures for foreign investors, particularly in strategic sectors such as renewable energy.

During the session, AAPI officials provided an in-depth overview of the investment pathway in Algeria, including the streamlined administrative processes, fiscal advantages, and the legal protections in place to safeguard foreign investments.

This strategic cooperation marks a pivotal moment in Algeria’s transition toward sustainable energy and illustrates growing confidence from major international players in Algeria’s economic potential.

The LONGi delegation concluded the meeting with optimism, reaffirming its keen interest in Algeria as a promising destination for long-term investment in clean energy. If materialized, this partnership could signal the start of a new industrial era for solar energy manufacturing in North Africa.
