In April 2020 it was reported that Total has an agreement with Sonatrach to build a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant at the Tin Fouye-Tabankort (TFT) oil/gas/condensate field, Illizi Basin, to power the production facilities and valorize the saved fuel gas through export. It is understood that the plant will have a capacity of 5MW. The TFT field is understood to produce currently around 290 MMcf/d of gas, it is operated by the "Groupement TFT". Participants in Groupement TFT are: Sonatrach with 51%, Total with 26.4% and Repsol with 22.6%.  Eni has a similar partnership with Sonatrach at the Bir Rebaa Nord oil/gas field in the Berkine Basin. In March 2017 representatives of Sonatrach and Eni kicked off the construction of the Bir Rebaa photovoltaic (PV) plant which will cover 20 ha and have a capacity of 10 MW. The electricity generated by the plant will power the oil fieldâs production facilities. This will make available the gas previously used in power generation for a better valorization.
