Renewable Energy Consumption: Algeria

Analysis# Algeria Renewable Energy Consumption Algeria's renewable energy consumption stood at 0.1% of total energy in 2021, marking a significant decline from its peak of 0.6% in 2005. Over the three-decade period from 1990 to 2021, renewable energy's share contracted by 50%, reflecting Algeria's continued dependence on fossil fuels, particularly natural gas and oil. The country's current renewable contribution ranks among its lowest on record, matching the all-time low reached in 2013. A sharp downturn occurred between 2005 and 2013, when renewable consumption plummeted from 0.6% to 0.1%—a collapse that has persisted through 2021. Modest fluctuations appeared in 2018 and 2019, when renewables briefly recovered to 0.2%, but these gains proved temporary. Sustained momentum in renewable energy expansion remains absent, suggesting Algeria continues to prioritize conventional energy sources despite growing global renewable deployment trends.
