New Energy ALgeria (NEAL)

Background

NEAL (New Energy ALgeria), which is Algeria's renewable energy agency, is a new company established by the Algerian government and Algeria's national energy companies to encourage domestic production, use, and export of renewable energy. On June 5, 2002, Algerian Energy and Mines Minister Chakib Khelil apprised U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham of Algeria's intention to create a renewable energy agency. Minister Khelil requested Department of Energy (DOE) assistance in establishing NEAL, and the Secretary agreed. ORNL is providing technical assistance to DOE and NEAL to foster international collaboration on renewable energy technologies and introduce U.S. companies to NEAL. Past and upcoming events include:

• U.S.-Algeria Renewable Energy Roundtable, November 8, 2002, Washington, D.C.
  
  
• Renewable Energy Opportunities in Algeria, October 23–24, 2003, Palm Springs, California (to be held in conjunction with the "International Executive Conference on Expanding the Market for Concentrating Solar Power," October 21–23, 2003, in Palm Springs, California)
