MIGA Guarantee to Propel Tunisia''s Renewable Energy Generation
The guarantee will enable the development, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of two 50-MW grid-connected solar power plants and associated interconnection
Currently, the British group NurEnergie (Figure 5) is planning to build the 4.5 GW TuNur solar power project in the governorate of Kebili, an integrated solar energy project linking Tunisia's sunny desert to European electricity markets.
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.
The applications of solar energy in Tunisia are diverse. Solar PV systems are increasingly installed in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to generate electricity. Large-scale solar farms, such as the Tozeur photovoltaic plant, feed into the national grid, enhancing energy availability.
With aims to install 1,700 MW of renewable energy capacity between 2024 and 2026, Tunisia has launched a number of international tenders. The tenders call for the development of 800 MW of solar power and 600 MW of wind power on investor-proposed sites and 300 MW of solar power on state-proposed sites in Sidi Bouzid and Gabes.
