One third of the projects will be for wind farms and two thirds for solar photovoltaics. Tunisia’s national grid is connected to those of Algeria and Libya which together helped supply about 12% of Tunisia’s power consumption in the first half of 2023.
Three key drivers will dictate Tunisia's energy transition: energy security, given Tunisia's growing energy balance deficit; economics, given the relative decrease in the price of renewables; and environment, given the Country's commitment to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
The sector also offers opportunities for possible Build-Own-Operate (BOO) or Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects. Much of Tunisia’s electricity production comes from gas turbines. Major players in this sector include General Electric (USA), Mitsubishi (Japan), Ansaldo (Italy), and Siemens (Germany).
The country has established a target of 30% renewable electricity production by 2030 in the Tunisian Solar Plan, first published in 2009 and revised in 2012. To enable renewable energy development, the Tunisian government passed Law No. 12 on renewable electricity production in 2015.
Electric grid In Thala, Tunisia, the cost of purchasing electricity from the grid is measured in euros per kilowatt-hour (€/kWh). For households with a monthly consumption ranging from 300 to 500 kWh, the cost per unit of electricity is approximately 0.063 US$. This price reflects the tariff structure set by the local utility or energy provider.
In 2020, natural gas made up 86% of Tunisia's installed capacity and 95% of power generation, while renewable energy made up 13% of installed capacity and 5% of power generation. Fossil fuels represent the majority of Tunisia's electricity generation mix (approximately 97%), with natural gas being the primary fuel source.
Tunisia
Tunisia has a current power production capacity of 5,944 megawatts (MW) installed in 25 power plants, which produced 19,520 gigawatt hours in 2022. State power utility company STEG controls 92.1% of the country''s installed power production capacity and produces 83.5% of the electricity.
