1. Socio-economic development in the era of renewable energies: Towards the creation of a research institution for the MENA region based on the DESERTEC concept 3 - 4 September 2012, Tunis, Tunisia Potential Algerian Stakeholders in DISEM Badis Derradji – CEO of NEAL Amine Stambouli – Prof. at USTO

2. Outline 1 Desertec vs DISEM General information sources Socio economic research 2 Renewables – a vision Academic institutions involved in RE Companies/agencies involved in RE 3 Topics for DISEM

3. Desertec vs DISEM Desertec 2.0, 3.0, h.0 h: humanized DISEM project renewables Security of supply technology funding sustainability grids PPAsarticle 9 2050 Study Tools impact Economic growth skills specilized workforce jobs sharing genuine partnership

4. General information sources + Ministry of Energy and Mines CNRC – Commercial Registrar Ministry of Higher Education & Scientif Research Information sources depend on the information needed. Q: What are the key indicators KPIs?  GW, GWh, % solar  # trainees in RE  # of RE companies

5. Socio economic research – The CREAD is the main research center on soci-economic issues; – Have been involved previously with Wuppertal Institute in a study about Renewables; – Can be part of DISEM, a potential stakeholder from Algeria.

6. Renewables – a vision Algeria is determined to mobilize its solar potential; Local manufacturing, job creation, new skills are a pre- requisite; R&D and training are key + investing in youth; Moving ahead while addressing issues related to optimal design, efficiency and cost reductions. All these gaps can only be addressed through well trained people engaged towards the creation of a new brand of RE enabled activists who dare to face the status quo and challenge inherited solutions…

7. Academic institutions involved in RE Scientific Research DGRSDT – CDER – UDES – URER – UDTS Universities – USTO – University of Tlemcen – ENPA – University of Bechar IAER Algerian Renewable Energy Institute

8. Companies/agencies involved in RE Renewable Energy Program Renewable Energy Energy efficieny Power generation from RE Direct applications Concentrating solat power(CSP) PV Wind Solar thermal Solar cooling and air conditioning Solar desalination Eco-buildings Energy efficient lighting (domisitic) Efficient public lighting EE in industry LPC and CNG promotion Ownership SONELGAZNEALAPRUE

9. Topics for DISEM Adapting the right model for RE governance in the MENA region via a clear cut responsibility chart (ownership and accountability). Right approach towards local industry: – state-owned vs private. – Large companies vs SMEs ( Define territories, work in respect and harmony) Re-hauling the procurement rules for faster execution.
