  15. Institutional and Legal Aspects relating to Renewable Energies

  16. Legal Instruments (1) The development of renewable energies is supported by a set of legal and regulatory instruments. These are mainly acts relating to: • The harnessing of energy; • Electricity and pipe-based gas distribution; • The promotion of renewable energies with a view of ensuring sustainable development.

  17. Legal instruments (2) Act n°99-09 of 28 July 1999 on energy harnessing This act defines the general framework of the national policy for the energy harnessing and identify the means to achieve this goal. - The promotion of REs is defined as one the tools for harnessing energy through saving on conventional energies.   - It defines the conditions, means of supervision and implementation of the national policy in energy harnessing through: • the enforcement of measures and actions geared towards achieving the rational use of electrical and gas power; • the development of renewable energies; • the alleviation of the environmental impact of the energy system.

  18. Legal instruments (3) Act n°02-01 of 5 February 2002 on electricity and pipe-based gas supply • Principle of opening the electricity market to private investors. • Concession system for electricity and gas distribution. • Provisions for the promotion of electricity generation from renewable energy sources and mainstreaming into the national grid. The overexpenditures arising from such measures: • can be allocated for by the State; • can be covered by the Caisse de l’électricité et du gaz (Fund for Electricity and Gas); • can be charged on tarriffs. • Producers using renewable and/or co-generation systems may be granted some incentives.

  19. Legal instruments (4) Act n°04-09 of 14 August 2004 pertaining to the promotion of renewable energies with a view of ensuring sustainable development • Implementation of a national programme for the promotion of new and renewable energies (EnR), • Instruments for promoting renewable energies (Mechanism for certifying the energy source and encouragements), • Establishment of national RE Observatory.

  20. Incentives Incentives (financial advantages and tax benefits, and customs duties) are provided for by the Act on energy harnessing. They target actions and projects contributing to the improvement in energy efficiency and the promotion of renewable energies. • FNME: aims at financing projects and at granting non-remunerated loans and guarantees for loans taken out from banks and financial institutions for in promising investments geared towards energy efficiency (Art 91-LF 2000). • FNER : aims at contributing to the funding of actions and projects in line with the promotion of renewable energies and co-generation (Art 63-LF 2010). Draft executive order: Encouragement of power generation from renewable energy sources and co-generation systems (Finalised draft) • Encouragement mechanism, • Eligibility criteria, • Control of the quantity of power generated.

  21. Development of electricity infrastructures Executive order n°06-429 of 26/11/2006 specifying the rights and obligations of electricity generators The electricity generator is entitled: •   to connect their facilities to the electricity conveyance and distribution networks (connection effected by the manager of the relevant network); • to enjoy a priority sale of their production on the electricity market which will be compensated (Art 8). Executive order n°08-114 of 9/4/2008 determining the modalities for granting and withdrawal of concessions for electricity and gas distribution and specifying the concession holder’s rights and obligations The concession holder is required to connect the facilities for power generation from RE sources and/or co-generation to the distribution network (Art 34).

  22. Conclusion Through this RE development programme, Algeria: • Puts renewable energies at the heart of its energy and economic policies; • Intends to position itself as a major player in power generation based on photovoltaic solar and thermal solar systems, which will be the engines of a sustainable development; • Considers this energy as a socio-economic development lever, mostly through the establishment of wealth and employment generating industries; • Gives itself the means to be a long lasting player on the energy market.
