The United States government has awarded a technical assistance grant to Algeria\u2019s transmission system operator,\u00a0Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Alg\u00e9rienne Gestionnaire du R\u00e9seau de Transport de l\u2019Electricit\u00e9\u00a0(GRTE), to modernize its electricity grid, which will help Algeria transition toward renewable energy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to support this opportunity to not only bolster the bilateral relationship between our two countries, but also to join in the efforts to secure reliable, clean and renewable energy for the people of Algeria,\u201d said Gautam Rana, Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Algiers, during a Wednesday virtual signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires, GRTE representatives and representatives from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) attended the ceremony. USTDA, which funded the technical assistance, links U.S. businesses to export opportunities by funding project preparation and partnership building activities that develop sustainable infrastructure and foster economic growth in partner countries such as Algeria.<\/p>\n

The $588,100 in U.S. government assistance will help GRTE plan the development of an automated distributed control system which will allow it to integrate renewable energy from solar and wind sources into its grid. This system will increase the efficiency of GRTE\u2019s grid while strengthening its management of Algeria\u2019s distributed power generation resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cUSTDA\u2019s support of this project exemplifies our commitment to supporting climate-smart infrastructure around the globe,\u201d said Enoh T. Ebong, USTDA\u2019s Acting Director. \u201cGRTE\u2019s goal of a renewable energy future is a priority that USTDA is proud to support. USTDA\u2019s assistance will also create opportunities for GRTE to benefit from cutting-edge American technologies as it embarks on its planned grid upgrades.\u201d<\/p>\n
