TaqatHy+ Audits: Regional Energy Audits & Comparative Assessment of Energy Efficiency Solutions

Design and Inception

• Elaborating a detailed work plan, methodological framework, and data collection tools, including questionnaires, interview guides, and reporting formats
• Organising and facilitating a kick-off workshop with national and regional stakeholders to present, discuss, and validate the methodology and tools

Data Collection and Field Audits

• Collecting and analysing existing statistical and institutional data, including national energy balances, regional datasets, and prior sector studies
• Conducting field missions and structured stakeholder interviews across targeted regions to assess real energy consumption patterns by sector
• Identifying key inefficiencies and energy loss points in buildings (public and residential)

Analysis and Comparison of Energy Efficiency Solutions

• Identifying relevant technical and organisational EE solutions tailored to each climatic region and sector
• Applying a multi-criteria assessment framework covering: energy savings potential, investment costs, payback periods, technical and institutional feasibility, social acceptability, and socio-economic benefits
• Producing prioritised portfolios of EE measures per region

Consolidation and Planning

• Preparing regional audit reports and a comparative synthesis of energy profiles across regions
• Drafting regionalised, prioritised action plans with short-, medium-, and long-term implementation steps, indicative financing mechanisms (public support, public–private partnerships, climate finance), and key performance indicators
• Organising and facilitating a national restitution workshop, and producing a final consolidated national report and presentation for institutional and technical audiences

Impact

• Strengthening national policy implementation: The project directly supports the operationalisation of Algeria's PNME (2025–2035), translating national energy efficiency commitments into concrete, region-specific action plans with clear implementation pathways.
• Evidence-based decision-making: Rigorous field audits and multi-criteria analyses provide MEMER and partner institutions with a reliable, sector-disaggregated evidence base to guide investment prioritisation and regulatory action.
• Sectoral coverage and systemic reach: By spanning five key consuming sectors across multiple climatic regions, the project delivers a comprehensive national picture of energy inefficiency, enabling targeted, cost-effective interventions at scale.
• Capacity development and institutional ownership: Through stakeholder co-design, validation workshops, and knowledge transfer embedded throughout the assignment, the project strengthens the capacity of Algerian institutions to plan and monitor EE programmes independently.
• Climate and sustainability relevance: By identifying and prioritising energy savings measures, the project contributes directly to Algeria's climate commitments, supports a reduction in fossil fuel dependency, and lays the groundwork for integrating renewable energy and green hydrogen solutions into long-term national planning.
