LONGi has partnered with Turkish construction firm Özgün İnşaat to supply its Hi-MO 7 photovoltaic modules for the Hassi Delaa Laghouat solar project in Algeria, which has a capacity of 300MWac/362MWdc. This project is part of Algeria’s national 3GW solar tender program managed by the state utility Sonelgaz, marking a key development in the country’s shift towards renewable energy.
Özgün İnşaat, a leading company under KRK Holding, chose LONGi for its reliable module performance and financial stability. The project will utilize LONGi’s LR8-66HGD modules from the Hi-MO 7 series, each with a power rating of 625W. These bifacial modules are designed for optimal energy output in Algeria’s climate, achieving a 23.1% efficiency with minimized degradation rates (-0.280%/°C), which are critical for sustained performance in harsh conditions.
Özge Baki, General Manager of KRK Holding Energy Companies, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating, “Our extensive experience in solar projects and operations in Algeria has enabled us to secure the Hassi Delaa Laghouat project. We are excited to collaborate with LONGi, a leader in the solar industry, whose product quality supports this initiative. We look forward to expanding our efforts in solar energy across the region.”
Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, commented on the partnership, saying, “This project illustrates the effectiveness of global technology collaborations in advancing energy transitions. Our Hi-MO 7 modules are engineered to deliver superior energy performance, essential for maximizing returns on investment in large-scale solar installations. Together with Özgün İnşaat, we are establishing a new benchmark for solar energy in Algeria.”
Once completed, the Hassi Delaa Laghouat project is anticipated to produce approximately 700 GWh of clean electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by around 450,000 tons. This collaboration sets a precedent for future projects between LONGi and Özgün İnşaat in North Africa, reflecting a mutual commitment to sustainable development and energy security.
