On April 28, according to foreign media reports, Longi Green Energy, a leading enterprise in China's photovoltaic industry, announced a major overseas layout plan - it will build a solar module factory in Algeria, Africa. This factory construction is not only a crucial step for Longi Green Energy to expand its international market, but also highly consistent with Algeria's plan to vigorously develop renewable energy.
As an important participant in the tender for the photovoltaic power station project cluster of Sonelgaz, the national electricity and natural gas group of Algeria, Longi Green Energy has successfully won orders for two projects and will supply high-efficiency monocrystalline modules with a total capacity of over 700MW. The application of these modules will effectively improve the power generation efficiency of local photovoltaic power stations and inject strong impetus into Algeria's clean energy supply.
In fact, Algeria has long had great ambitions in the field of renewable energy. According to Xinhua News Agency, Algeria's Ministry of Energy, Mines and Renewable Energy issued a press communiqué on March 17, 2025, clearly stating that in order to promote energy transformation and sustainable development, it plans to build 15 photovoltaic power plants nationwide with a total installed capacity of 3,200MW. This grand plan demonstrates Algeria's firm determination to transform to clean energy.
From a longer-term planning perspective, the Algerian government has set a target of adding 15GW of renewable energy installed capacity by 2035. By then, renewable energy is expected to account for 27% of the country's total power installed capacity, and solar power generation will undoubtedly play a leading role. Against this backdrop, Longi Green Energy's choice to build a factory in Algeria at this time is truly timely. On the one hand, it can meet the growing demand for photovoltaic modules in the local area and help Algeria achieve its energy transformation goals. On the other hand, it has also opened up a vast African market for itself and further enhanced its competitiveness in the global photovoltaic industry.
The cooperation between Longi Green Energy and Algeria is a typical case of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises "going global". It not only promotes the development of Algeria's clean energy industry, but also contributes China's strength to the global energy transformation.
