Deutschland – Dienstleistungen im Energiebereich – 10034737-Expert Pool Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for Municipalities in Algeria

The Green Municipalities II Project aims to improve the climate efficiency of Algerian local authorities, with a particular focus on reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and energy-related costs, while improving the quality and sustainability of municipal services. The project supports Algerian local authorities in strengthening their technical, institutional and operational capacities in the fields of municipal energy management, energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable urban services. It combines capacity building, technical assistance, digital tools and the implementation of practical pilot measures to enable municipalities to improve their energy performance and adopt more sustainable management practices. Particular attention is given to the main energy-consuming sectors within municipalities, including public lighting, schools, mosques, administrative buildings, green spaces and other public facilities. The project supports local authorities in identifying, planning, implementing and monitoring practical solutions in energy efficiency and renewable energy, while promoting digital technologies and smart management tools. The project is implemented with a strong focus on pilot municipalities and wilayas in order to develop practical, scalable and replicable solutions. The experience gained through these pilot interventions will contribute to strengthening the capacities of local stakeholders and to developing models that can subsequently be replicated in other Algerian municipalities. The project targets, among other objectives, the strengthening of the capacities of technical staff responsible for energy management, the use of digital tools for municipal energy management, the implementation of priority measures identified through municipal action plans, and the development of citizen participation in measures aimed at improving municipal climate efficiency. Overall, Green Municipalities II seeks to establish the technical, institutional and operational conditions for Algerian local authorities to manage their energy resources and urban services in a more efficient, sustainable and data-driven manner.
