Algiers, Algeria | June 18th, 2025 — In a move that reflects Algeria’s growing appeal as a hub for foreign industrial investment, Sonelgaz CEO Mourad Adjal reaffirmed on Wednesday the group’s total commitment to meeting the energy demands of the Malaysian conglomerate “Lion Group,” which is preparing to launch major projects in Algeria, particularly in the iron, steel, and transformation industries.

In a high-level meeting held at Sonelgaz headquarters, Mr. Adjal assured the President and CEO of Lion Group, Tan Sri William Cheng, that the Algerian energy giant stands ready to accompany the Malaysian investor by delivering reliable and high-quality electricity and gas services tailored to the scale and technical complexity of their upcoming industrial ventures.

“As a trusted national energy operator, Sonelgaz is fully aligned with the directives of Algeria’s highest authorities in promoting foreign investment and establishing an enabling, stable business environment,” stated Adjal.

Strategic Energy Partnership for Industrial Projects

The CEO emphasized the strategic importance of seamless coordination between the technical teams of both parties, calling for detailed energy requirement data to ensure a precise assessment and customized energy provisioning strategy. This is particularly crucial for the flagship project involving Algerian steel group “Sider,” which is poised to become a cornerstone of Algeria’s industrial transformation.

“Sonelgaz is not only prepared to supply optimal energy levels but to guarantee continuous, secure, and high-standard service delivery,” Adjal noted, highlighting the company’s readiness to adapt its solutions to the specific geography and technical profile of each Lion Group project.

Malaysia’s Growing Interest in Algerian Market

The meeting was also attended by Malaysian Ambassador to Algeria, Mr. Rizany Irwan Mohd Mazlan, who praised Algeria’s pro-investment climate and confirmed his country’s keen interest in building strategic partnerships with major Algerian economic players like Sonelgaz.

“Malaysia sees Algeria as a natural industrial partner in North Africa. The Lion Group’s commitment marks a new chapter in bilateral cooperation, driven by mutual confidence and shared ambition,” the ambassador affirmed.
