An additional solar module manufacturing facility in Algeria

• Algerian telecommunications as well as renewable resource firm Milltech is intending to start generating panels at a brand-new manufacturing facility following month. The components made there will primarily be dispersed in Algeria yet the firm additionally intends to export.

Algerian renewables and also telecommunications firm Milltech is constructing a 100 MW yearly capability solar module manufacturing facility in the industrial zone of Boukerana in Chelghoum El Aid, in the Mila district in the north eastern of the nation.
