The Ministry of Energy and Mining (Arabic: وزارة الطاقة و المناجم, French: Ministère de l'Énergie et des Mines "Ministry of Energy and Mines") is a ministry of the government of Algeria. The head office is in Tour A in Algiers.[1] As of 2021 Mohamed Arkab is the minister.

History

[edit]

The development of Algeria's energy sector post-independence has been marked by several regulatory and organizational changes designed to manage and exploit its energy resources effectively:

  • 1962: Shortly after gaining independence, Algeria established the Energy and Fuels Directorate and the Algerian Petroleum Bureau to oversee the nation's energy sector.
  • 1963: The creation of the Ministry of Industrialization and Energy, along with the national oil company Sonatrach, indicated an early focus on energy and mining as critical sectors.
  • 1967-1969: The establishment of SONAREM and Sonelgaz highlighted further steps towards structuring the energy sector more robustly.
  • 1971 and 1977: A series of reorganizations placed the energy sector under different ministries, reflecting the sector's increasing significance to the national economy.
  • 1984-1991: The period saw the creation of distinct ministries for Mines and Industry and for Energy, signifying a more specialized approach to sector management.
  • 1995: The government established a Ministry of Energy and Mines, consolidating the management of these key sectors under a single administrative body.
  • 2007-2015: The Ministry of Energy and Mines was re-established and later streamlined into the Ministry of Energy, with several updates in its organizational structure to meet changing industry demands.[2]
