Tunisia awards over 500MW of solar capacity in
Tunisia has announced the winners of tenders for over 500MW of solar capacity, including Qair International and Voltalia.
Solar energy also contributes to Tunisia's economic development. Expanding the solar energy sector creates job opportunities in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and research. It attracts foreign investments, particularly in large-scale solar projects like photovoltaic (PV) farms and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants.
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). In addition to wind and hydro, the Tunisian government plans to use biogas to produce renewable energy.
Abstract: Solar energy holds immense potential for Tunisia, a country blessed with abundant sunshine. With an average of over 3,000 hours of sunlight annually, Tunisia is ideally positioned to harness solar power to meet its energy demands sustainably.
The Tunisian government is encouraging investment in the photovoltaic sector by covering 30% of the investment costs. In addition, STEG buys the surplus electricity produced.
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 very first photovoltaic installation, at HammamBiadha (Siliana governorate), dates back to 1980, with a capacity of 30kWp. Subsequently, a 2MWp photovoltaic park was created to electrify certain rural areas. The Tunisian government is encouraging investment in the photovoltaic sector by covering 30% of the investment costs.
Tunisia has announced the winners of tenders for over 500MW of solar capacity, including Qair International and Voltalia.
As the photovoltaic (PV) industry continues to evolve, advancements in Tunisia energy storage integration have become critical to optimizing the utilization of renewable energy sources.
