The Impact of High Financing Costs on Renewable Energy : Figure 2: Comparing wind energy and gas LCOEs in high and low financing cost
When operational, the Kaioruan Solar PV project, for example, is set to generate 222GWh of clean energy per year, powering more than 43,000 households and offsetting 117,000 tonnes of carbon emission over the course of its life. Implemented by Kairouan Solar Plant, a project company registered in Tunisia and fully owned by AMEA Power, the
Tunisia''s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Renewable Energy announced on 3 May winners of six 10MW and four 1MW solar PV projects. Initial approval by the energy, mines and renewable energy minister Khaled Kaddour took place on 30 April. Spanish solar company AE3000, Tunisia-based chemical company Alimpack and AB Corporation in Sfax
Tunisia''s climate presents a key solar energy opportunity and, Tunisia: Solar Investment Opportunities Version 2.0 is the 11th publication in a suite of free investment reports on global markets with significant solar potential, including Mozambique, Senegal, Côte d''Ivoire, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, India, Tunisia, Latin America, Algeria

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

Oslo, 5 August 2024: Scatec ASA, a leading renewable energy provider, and Aeolus SA, part of the Japanese conglomerate Toyota Tsusho Group, have signed a partnership agreement to jointly develop
The first tender launched by the Tunisian Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy concerns the development of eight solar photovoltaic projects. The call for expressions of interest is organised in several phases between 2022 and 2025. Each interested independent power producer (IPP) should select the site and submit a bid for a 100 MWp solar power plant.
A 10MWp solar PV project in Gabès has signed a power purchase agreement with Société Tunisienne de l''Electricité et du Gaz. The project is owned by France''s Akuo Energy Afrique in a consortium with its Tunisian partners HBG Holding, owned by the Hédi Bouchamaoui family, and Immobilière Chaabane group company Nour Energy.

The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally. It is provided by the World Bank Group as a free service to governments, developers and the general public, and allows users to quickly obtain data and carry out a simple electricity output calculation for any location covered by the solar resource database.
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.
First utility-scale photovoltaic plant (10 MW, in Tozeur) was commissioned in 2019 on German money. 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).
The Tunisian Solar Plan contains 40 projects aimed at promoting solar thermal and photovoltaic energies, wind energy, as well as energy efficiency measures. The plan also incorporates the ELMED project; a 400KV submarine cable interconnecting Tunisia and Italy.
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.
The first large scale solar power plant of a 10MW capacity, co-financed by KfW and NIF (Neighbourhood Investment Facility) and implemented by STEG, is in Tozeur. TuNur CSP project is Tunisia’s most ambitious renewable energy project yet.
With these favourable conditions, the productivity of PV solar systems in Tunisia is very high. According to IRENA’s Global Atlas, annual electricity production by PV solar systems varies between 1 450 kWh per kilowatt-peak (kWp) in the northwest region and 1 830 kWh/kWp for systems installed in the extreme southeast region.
