What is the Tunisian Solar Plan?

The Tunisian Solar Plan (TSP) outlines the following renewable energy installed capacity targets by 2030: In additional, the TSP also calls for 100 MW of bioenergy by 2030, which Tunisian officials classify as a renewable energy source.

What are the project regimes in Tunisia?

Depending on the size of the project, Tunisia employs two different project regimes: the Concessions regime, which is applicable for large-scale projects typically designed for energy export, and the Authorizations regime, which is for projects with a maximum capacity of 10 MW, 30 MW, and 15 MW for solar, wind, and biomass projects, respectively.

How much energy does Tunisia generate?

Source: IRENA. According to Global Energy Monitor, Tunisia has a generating capacity of 6,079 MW total, comprised of oil and natural gas (5,771 MW), solar (55 MW), and onshore wind (253 MW). In 2022, Tunisia increased its renewable energy target to 35% of total energy generation by 2030.

What drives Tunisia's energy transition?

Three key drivers will dictate Tunisia's energy transition: energy security, given Tunisia's growing energy balance deficit; economics, given the relative decrease in the price of renewables; and environment, given the Country's commitment to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
