6 FAQs about Tunisia Energy Site

What is the energy sector in Tunisia?

Revised in November 2024, this map provides a detailed view of the energy sector in Tunisia. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including gas and liquid fuels, natural gas, hybrid, hydroelectricity, solar (PV and CSP), wind and biomass/biogas.

Does Tunisia rely on gas?

Tunisia mostly relies on gas imports to meet its primary energy needs: almost 97% of its electricity generation came from gas in 2016. However, energy policy puts the emphasis on renewable energy. Electricity generation from wind power strongly increased

What percentage of Tunisia's electricity is renewable?

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.

What is Tunisia's future energy potential?

In terms of Tunisia's renewable electricity potential, the vast majority of future generation will be solar PV and onshore wind.

Does Tunisia need electricity?

Tunisia relies on imported natural gas to meet the majority of its growing electricity needs, even though the country has a vast potential to generate renewable energy. Despite limited economic growth over the last decade, peak demand for electricity has continued to grow at a high rate, around 5% per year between 2010 and 2022.

How can Tunisia increase its energy access rate?

Tunisia must build up and expand its power generation system to increase the energy access rate to 100%. Building new power plants – no matter the technology – will require new infrastructure (including power grids), spatial planning, a stable policy framework, and access to finance.
