At the end of 2018, Tunisia had an installed capacity of 240 MW of wind power, 10 MW of solar, and 62 MW of hydroelectric, representing a combined 5.7% of national energy production capacity. The GOT aims to raise the usage of these types of energy resources to 30% of total power capacity by 2030.
State power utility company STEG controls 92.1% of the country’s installed power production capacity and produces 83.5% of the electricity. The remainder is imported from Algeria and Libya as well as produced by Tunisia’s only independent power producer (IPP) Carthage Power Company (CPC), a 471-MW combined-cycle power plant.
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 the area of renewable energy technologies.
Includes a market overview and trade data. Tunisia’s power sector is well developed, and nearly the entire population enjoys access to the national electricity grid.
