RENEWABLE ENERGIES:
The ELMED interconnection project, which will link Tunisia to Italy by 2028, will play a key role in stabilizing energy supply, while supporting the energy transition in Tunisia and Europe.
To ensure a resilient electricity network, Tunisia is investing in modern, secure infrastructure. The ELMED interconnection project, which will link Tunisia to Italy by 2028, will play a key role in stabilizing energy supply, while supporting the energy transition in Tunisia and Europe.
We found that Tunisia can cost-effectively build a reliable electricity supply based on local power generation, with high proportions of solar and wind power. With an onshore wind potential greater than 30 times the projected 2050 demand and a solar potential greater than 100 times that demand, Tunisia has exceptional renewable energy potential.
The T-1.5oC scenario requires an investment of 110 billion Tunisian dinar (trillion TND US$36 billion) in power generation and 129 billion TND (US$42 billion) in heat generation. The total investment in power and heat generation capacities therefore adds up to 239 billion trillion TND (US$78 billion).
Solar and wind power projects subject to authorization : Tunisia has granted authorizations for projects with a capacity of 381 MW, including 261 MW of solar PV and 120 MW of wind power. 2 plants with a unit capacity of of Tataouine and Sidi Bouzid.
