The Tunisian authorities have provided $121 million for solar thermal and PV systems. The subsidies can cover up to 30% of initial investments in residential PV installations. The Tunisian government said that it has renewed the financing mechanism for its two national residential solar programs.
The financing will take the form of rebates granted to Tunisian households allocated by the Energy Transition Fund (FNME). The financial institution will also be able to grant loans for the purchase and installation of equipment.
The Tunisian energy sector is facing strategical, economical, social and environmental challenges. Energy sourcing, particularly in the power sector, relies heavily on natural gas (97% of total power generation), of which 50% is imported from neighboring Algeria, given the limited available national resources.
With the aim of reaching the 2020 intermediary targets, the Tunisian Government published the 01/2016 Renewable Energy Generation Notice, fixing the installed capacity 2017-2020 targets by technology and regulatory scheme. The notice has set an installed capacity target of 1000 MW: 650 MW of Solar PV and 350 MW of Wind.
In order to reach these targets, Tunisia has implemented a new regulatory framework through the enactment, in 2015, of Law n°2015-12 relative to electricity generation by renewable energy sources, which details three regulatory schemes: self-consumption, “authorizations” through call for projects, and “concessions” through call for tenders.
Given the limited access to international financing, Tunisia's Central Bank continued refinancing the domestic banking sector for treasury bond purchases. Local financing of the debt remains challenging given that inflation is at its highest level in over three decades (due to rising global prices).
