Renewable energy in Tunisia: GFSE
The Tunisian Solar Plan foresees a share of renewable electricity of 35% and an installed capacity of 4GW by 2030. In 2021, Tunisia had achieved only 400 MW, with the majority stemming from wind
In 2022, 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 renewable energy technologies.
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.
Solar and wind power projects subject to authorization : Tunisia has granted authorizations for projects with a capacity of 381 MW, including 261 MW of solar PV and 120 MW of wind power. 2 plants with a unit capacity of of Tataouine and Sidi Bouzid.
The Tunisian Solar Plan foresees a share of renewable electricity of 35% and an installed capacity of 4GW by 2030. In 2021, Tunisia had achieved only 400 MW, with the majority stemming from wind power and smaller amounts in solar and Hydropower. Up to 2000, Tunisia was mostly self-sufficient when it came to energy.
