Why it matters
- The 18th-largest oil- and gas-fired power station in Algeria by capacity (of 58 operating, under-construction and planned oil & gas facilities tracked).
- If completed, it would add 700 MW to Algeria's oil & gas fleet — equivalent to 2.5% of today's operating oil & gas capacity.
- Gas-fired plants — especially combined-cycle units — provide flexible output that can ramp quickly to balance demand and variable renewables, so their availability is closely tied to gas supply and prices.
