Socio-economic development in the era of renewable energies: Towards the creation of a research institution for the MENA region based on the DESERTEC concept September 2012, Tunis, Tunisia Potential Algerian Stakeholders in DISEM Badis Derradji – CEO of NEAL Amine Stambouli – Prof. at USTO

Outline 1 Desertec vs DISEM General information sources Socio economic research 2 Renewables – a vision Academic institutions involved in RE Companies/agencies involved in RE 3 Topics for DISEM

Desertec vs DISEM Desertec 2.0, 3.0, h.0 h: humanized DISEM project renewables Security of supply technology funding sustainability grids PPAsarticle Study Tools impact Economic growth skills specilized workforce jobs sharing genuine partnership

General information sources + Ministry of Energy and Mines CNRC – Commercial Registrar Ministry of Higher Education & Scientif Research Information sources depend on the information needed. Q: What are the key indicators KPIs?  GW, GWh, % solar  # trainees in RE  # of RE companies
