Energy in Tunisia

Tunisia aims to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The country currently gets only 3% to 6% of its electricity from renewable sources, mostly from wind and hydro. Solar energy capacity is at 35 megawatts (MW). In addition to wind and hydro, the Tunisian government plans to use biogas to produce renewable energy. [12]

The appropriate support mechanism and regulatory framework for renewable energy in Tunisia, allowed the good environment for achieving the 2030 energy targets. The reforms undertaken have included building the legal, financial and technical capabilities to orchestrate rapid investments in the power sector.

RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS IN TUNISIA

The energy situation in Tunisia is marked by limited resources, a decrease in production and a sharp increase in demand. The gap between energy generation and national demand in hydrocarbons has created a deficit in the primary

Tunisia

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

The International Energy Agency reports for 2014 an electricity production of 19 TWh, compared to 10.5 TWh in the year 2000. The Tunisian Company of Electricity and Gas (STEG), a public company, ensures the three quarters of production. The network operates at 50 Hertz and the voltage at the domestic level is 230 Volts. Virtually all Tunisian electricity (18 TWh) is produced by thermal power plants burning natural gas
