On April 28, 2026, a partnership agreement was formalized at the Ministry of Energy and Renewable Energy between the Electricity and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG) and the International Council of Swedish Industry (NIR). This strategic collaboration, aimed at decarbonizing Algeria’s industrial sector, was signed in the presence of the Swedish Ambassador and representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Director General of the National Agency for the Development and Rationalization of Energy Use (APRUE) attended the ceremony alongside senior ministerial officials and industry leaders. During specialized workshops, APRUE experts engaged in high-level knowledge exchange regarding sustainable development challenges, specifically focusing on how the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) might influence the global competitiveness of Algeria’s non-hydrocarbon exports.
