The Tunisian government has granted licenses to four PV projects with a combined capacity of 500 MW. The selected developers are Qair International, Voltalia, Toyota Tsusho and Scatec. Tunisia's Minister of Industry, Mines and Energy, Fatima Al-Thabat Shibb, has approved four solar projects with a combined capacity of 500 MW.
It previously completed a 500 MW solar tender in December 2019. In October 2024, Tunisia launched a new tender for 200 MW of large-scale solar, with submissions due by Jan. 15, 2025. Tunisia’s total solar capacity reached 506 MW by the end of 2023, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Tunisia has commenced construction on two 10 MW solar projects in Kasserine Governorate, developed by energy firms Qair and Mazarine. In September 2024, the country also began building a 50 MW solar plant in Tozeur, a TND 135 million project led by Norway’s Scatec and Toyota subsidiary Aeolus.

Tunisia’s climate presents a key solar energy opportunity and, together with an improved investment framework and a highly skilled workforce, the country should be well positioned support its ambitious Plan Solaire Tunisien. However, to date, Tunisia has fallen short of its intermediate solar PV targets.
average global horizontal irradiation of around 1,850 kWh/m2/year. The overall horizontal solar irradiation exceeds 1,900 kWh/m2/year in the southern half of the country and is more than 2,045 kWh/m2/year in the region of Tataouine. Tunisia therefore has significant potential for photovoltaic projects and thermal technologies.
