“…Finally, some studies have gone further and have analyzed the effect of RE policies by using regression analysis. In this regard, it is worth highlighting, for example, the studies by Dong [35], Zhao and Wang [36], Liu et al [37], and Schmidt and Sewerin [38]. All these studies use panel data referring to countries that have been applying measures to promote the use of RE for years, having increased the scale of RE use in a stable manner.…”

Algeria has enormous renewable energy potential. However, fossil fuels remain the main electricity generation source, and the country is the third largest CO 2 emitter in Africa. Algeria is also particularly vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, a set of actions related to energy, forests, industry and waste sectors have been programmed, over the period 2015-2030, and the government action program has given priority to promote renewable energy. In this sense, Algeria is committed to significantly promote investment in renewable energy, during the period 2020-2030. Thus by 2030, renewable electricity production capacity will achieve 22,000 MW, representing 27% of total electricity generation. This paper analyzes the electricity generation measures implemented in Algeria to reach the required energy mix, the legislative framework, financial aid, the feed-in tariff system, the tax incentives, and the tender and auctions undertaken. The analyses reveal that, although the electricity price premium policy has not been revoked, the newly enacted tender scheme is designed to become the standard procedure for launching renewable energy projects in Algeria in the coming years.

“…Regarding the empirical evidence, the literature stresses the importance of policy interventions [5,44,45] and market liberalization [5,46,47]. Yet these studies focus more on promoting RES through policy instruments as feed-in-tariff or quotas, or the challenges associated with their market and system integration, largely ignoring the energy security aspect.…”

: To achieve the socially optimum level of renewable generation, governments should design renewable policies to induce renewable technologies competitive with conventional generation technologies. And to do that, it is needed to understand how each policy has been effective in promoting renewables for power sector. In most of the literatures, there are two key limitations that they did not considered autocorrelation problem using the amount of generation from renewables as a dependent variable and technology innovation which needs to be preceded technology adoption. In this study, I try to overcome these two problems by using dynamic panel model and adding an additional variable for technology innovation. According to the result, FIT has been effective rather than RPS in promoting renewables for generation and I found the possibility that the counterintuitive results which commonly appeared in existing studies might be due to the two limitations mentioned above.
