The Global Atlas for Renewable Energy, an online resource assessment platform hosted by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), provides guidance on identifying cost
In 2022, only 3% of Tunisia’s electricity is generated from renewables, including hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy. While STEG continues to resist private investment in the sector, Parliament’s 2015 energy law encourages IPPs in renewable energy technologies.
In 2024, the GOT is also expected to launch a tender for the construction of at least one 470-550 MW combined-cycle power plant in Skhira (south Tunisia) as an IPP. In May 2018, the Ministry of Energy and Mines published a call for private projects to build renewable power plants with a total capacity of 1,000 MW (500 MW wind and 500 MW solar).
Amid the coronavirus outbreak in early 2020, renewables and energy eficiency have become a key part of the country’s recovery plans. Tunisia has witnessed growing deficits in its energy balance over the past two decades.
• The procedures to create and establish an independent regulatory authority for the electricity sector are being finalised as part of Tunisia’s NDCs to ensure the achievement of its renewable energy targets. The authority will ensure compliance with regulations and will promote a transparent and fair competitive environment for private producers.1
The Energy Transition Fund, Tunisia Investment Authority and Tunisian Guarantee Company can be complemented with guarantee funds or secure credit lines (e.g. liquidity guarantees or credit lines) to local commercial banks by international finance institutions like the French Development Agency (AFD) and International Finance Corporation.
ELMED will be the first direct electricity connection between Tunisia and Italy. The 220 km power line with a capacity of 600 MW will run from Sicily to the Cap Bon in Tunisia. The objective is to increase the exchange of electricity generated from renewable sources.
