Commissioner Jørgensen in Algeria to strengthen energy partnership and support diversification

Tomorrow, Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen is travelling to Algeria to reinforce the long-standing energy partnership between Algeria and the EU.

His visit forms part of the EU's efforts to ensure diversification among suppliers as we phase out Russian gas, aligning with the goals of REPowerEU, while driving forward the clean energy transition globally. Discussions between the Commissioner and Algerian leaders will cover cooperation on natural gas, renewable energy, hydrogen and energy interconnections.

Commissioner Jørgensen will participate in the annual 'EU-Algeria High Level Energy Dialogue' taking place tomorrow and will hold meetings with the Minister for Hydrocarbons and Mines, Mohamed Arkab, and with Minister for Energy and Renewable Energies, Mourad Adjal.

At the end of the Dialogue, at around 11:00 CET, Commissioner Jørgensen and the ministers will deliver press statements. Watch them live on EBS.
