Why is Tunisia investing in a secure electricity network?
To ensure a resilient electricity network, Tunisia is investing in modern, secure infrastructure. The ELMED interconnection project, which will link Tunisia to Italy by , will play a key role in stabilizing energy supply, while supporting the energy transition in Tunisia and Europe.
How will the transition of the energy sector impact Tunisia?
The planned transition of the energy sector would also lead to more economic opportunities and private sector-led job creation. The Government of Tunisia (GoT) has embarked on an ambitious path to increase its renewable energy production.
What is a virtuous cycle of energy production in Tunisia?
A virtuous cycle of green, affordable, and financially viable energy production. I. The Tunisian Energy Landscape Tunisia relies on imported natural gas to meet the majority of its growing electricity needs, even though the country has a vast potential to generate renewable energy.
How many solar and wind power projects are in Tunisia?
Solar and wind power projects subject to authorization : Tunisia has granted authorizations for projects with a capacity of 381 MW, including 261 MW of solar PV and 120 MW of wind power. 2 plants with a unit capacity of of Tataouine and Sidi Bouzid.
How can Tunisia tackle the energy price gap?
This pricing gap makes energy subsidies a significant burden on the state budget. To address these challenges, Tunisia has set ambitious targets : Reducing carbon intensity by 45% by and increasing renewable energy’s (RE) share to 35% of electricity production.
How much does a wind farm cost in Tunisia?
State Site : A 198 MWac project has been awarded in Sidi Bouzid (El Khobna). Most competitive tarif : 98.8 millimes of Tunisian dinar/ kWh (~2.9 euro cents/kWh). Tunisia is making a major commitment to wind power. 8 wind farm projects will be developed on developer sites, with individual capacity capped at 75 MW per project.
