Shariket el Kahraba wa el Taket el Moutadiadida (SKTM) is developing the ground-mounted project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.
The station is made up of three sub-projects and 16 plants, with a total installed capacity of 233MW.
Powerway will provide solar PV mounting structures and corresponding design services for 120MW of the total capacity.
Powerway Renewable Energy CEO Benson Wu said, "It is our honor to participate in the largest ground power station project in Africa and provide solar mounting structures and ground screws."
Upon completion, the plants are anticipated to have an annual output of 372.8 million kWh and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 4.66 million tons a year.
Powerway said Algeria’s location in North Africa, with rich sunshine resources, makes it ideal for solar PV development and the Sahara Desert covers 85% of the country, with the climate and terrain being relatively complex.
The company noted that from design to construction, the photovoltaic power station is facing great challenges and its advanced design concepts for the solar mounting system provided an economic and reliable structure resilient to harsh conditions like wind and sand.
