Technical FAQs 4

Is Tunisia building a solar power plant?

Tunisia has commenced construction on two 10 MW solar projects in Kasserine Governorate, developed by energy firms Qair and Mazarine. In September 2024, the country also began building a 50 MW solar plant in Tozeur, a TND 135 million project led by Norway’s Scatec and Toyota subsidiary Aeolus.

Why is solar energy important in Tunisia?

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.

What is the Tunisian Solar Plan?

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.

How much solar power does Tunisia have?

In Tunisia, the totol solar PV total capacity at the end of 2014 was 15 MW which comprised of mostly small-scale private installations (residential as well as commercial) with capacity ranging from 1 kW and 30 kW.
