Sonelgaz is seeking developers for two wind farms in Algeria. Tunisia has opened a solar-plus-storage tender, while Egypt plans battery assembly and Israel has outlined a major solar expansion.
Israel's Hadarey Shean solar project is slated to add 150 MW of generation and 800 MWh of storage. Doral Group Renewable Energy Resources puts the investment at NIS 800 million, or about $260.89 million.
The expansion follows the recent completion of the regulatory framework for large-scale projects of this type. Doral plans to develop the new phase in Israel's Valley of Springs near Beit She'an.
Egypt is building out a different part of the storage supply chain.
Rosatom's Fuel Division energy storage business unit has signed an agreement with Telecom and Technology to establish battery assembly facilities. The plants could produce up to 500 MWh annually. The partners also plan workforce training, followed by a gradual manufacturing scale-up.
The agreement targets storage applications across several sectors. These include power and telecommunications, as well as data centers. Oil and gas operations are also covered, along with other industrial sectors. The plan sets out manufacturing, training and a phased expansion of production.
In Tunisia, state utility STEG has invited bids for a 50 MW solar plant paired with a 10 MW/20 MWh battery system in Beni Mhira, Tataouine Governorate. The two-hour battery system is part of a wider package that includes high-voltage infrastructure and transmission lines connecting the project to the grid. Bids are due December 10, 2026. The tender details describe procurement covering both generation and grid connection works. The project is associated with support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
That project sits alongside a separate Tunisian storage procurement. STEG has tendered battery systems with a combined capacity of 600 MWh across ten sites. The regional lots allocate 210 MWh to the north and 180 MWh to central Tunisia. The southern lot accounts for another 210 MWh. The procurement was published on September 24 and is separate from the 50 MW solar project.
Algeria's Sonelgaz announced its tender on October 13, 2026. It covers two 100 MW wind farms, one in Laghouat province and the other in Djelfa.
The procurement covers studies and engineering, followed by civil works. It also includes equipment supply and transport, plus installation. Staff training is required, along with testing and commissioning. Africa Energy reported the tender as part of a wider expansion of Algeria's renewable-energy projects, including further investment in off-grid solar.
The wind tender adds another renewable-energy procurement track to Algeria's upstream investment agenda, which includes the onshore block offer. Sonelgaz's current notice covers the development work required for both proposed wind farms.
