Tunisia created the Energy Transition Fund (FTE) in 2013, representing an essential tool for developing energy efficiency and renewable energy through subsidising long-term projects. In 2015, following the FTE, new regulations obliged the government to increase renewable energy.
This will be one of the first projects to be developed under Tunisia''s regulatory framework for renewable projects and was awarded through an open and transparent tender. Furthermore, the project will promote gender equality by supporting the inclusion of women in the Tunisian renewable energy sector.
Tunisia intends to allocate 7.1 billion Tunisian dinars ($2.2 billion) for the development of the power sector in 2025, including renewable energy projects, a newspaper said on Thursday. The North African Arab country has set a target to expand reliance on solar and wind power to 35 percent in the
• In March 2018, the Interministerial Committee approved the Action Plan for the Acceleration of Renewable Energy Projects in Tunisia (M. EMER, 2018). • In 2018, and following to the action plan for acceleration of RE, a further tender for 800 MW will be
The two projects are paving the way for many other high-impact investment opportunities in Tunisia." The Government of Tunisia has an ambition to increase the renewable energy share to 35% of the country''s energy mix by 2030 and is running an attractive renewable energy tender programme to support this target.
2 天之前· Africa Intelligence has learned that Norwegian firm Scatec Solar has thrown in the towel on two of three solar photovoltaic power generation projects in Tunisia''s Tataouine, Tozeur and Sidi Bouzid that it was awarded at the end of 2019. The company made the decision in late 2023 not to produce 240MW of the 360MW initially planned due to persistent disagreements

Renewable energy provider Scatec ASA has signed a partnership agreement with Aeolus SA to jointly develop and own renewable energy projects in Tunisia while also financial close has been achieved for the 120 MW Sidi Bouzid and Tozeur solar projects (each 60 MW), which are part of the partnership agreement.
Tunis, June 21, 2023 — The World Bank Group Board of Directors on Wednesday approved $268.4 million in financing for the Tunisia-Italy interconnector (ELMED) project that will link energy grids between Tunisia and Europe and support renewable energy trade essential to Tunisia''s sustainable development and climate change strategy. The landmark ELMED project
The project will help meet the increasing electricity demand and lower the cost of power generation in Tunisia and supports the country''s efforts to achieve self-sufficiency by utilizing its domestic renewable sources of energy, thus enabling STEG to reduce its exposure to gas price volatility and exchange rate fluctuations and easing the
a) The Tunisian Solar Plan: a renewal of the trend towards dependency as strategic orientation In 2015, 7 Tunisia launched the updated version of the Tunisian Solar Plan (its French acronym is PST), an operational
Through June 2023, Tunisia had about 565 MW of installed renewable energy capacity of which 240 MW was wind power, 263 MW solar power, and 62 MW of hydroelectric power, representing a combined 8% of national energy production capacity. The GOT aims to raise the usage of renewable energy resources to 35% of total power capacity by 2030. Green
At the start of January, Tunisia''s energy minister Naila Nouira said that the government planned 1,700 MW of new renewable energy projects that should be implemented between 2023 and 2025. (TND 1 = USD 0.329/EUR 0.299)
a) The Tunisian Solar Plan: a renewal of the trend towards dependency as strategic orientation In 2015, 7 Tunisia launched the updated version of the Tunisian Solar Plan (its French acronym is PST), an operational plan that sits within the country''s energy transition strategy. The plan was originally published in 2009 and aims to increase the ratio of renewable energy from 3 per cent
The Government released an update to the Tunisia Solar Plan in 2018— an ambitious roadmap for their energy sector—which calls for the acceleration of renewable energy projects by 2030. By then, Tunisia hopes to increase domestic electricity production from renewable energy sources to 30 percent, reduce energy demand by 30 percent, and lower
Several studies evaluated the impact of renewable energy expansion in Tunisia. Some of these studies determined the linkages between renewable energy consumption, international trade, CO2 emission and economic growth (Brini et al., 2017, Cherni and Essaber, 2017) while others explored the linkages between renewable energy and social situation
