What are Tunisia's energy projects?
One third of the projects will be for wind farms and two thirds for solar photovoltaics. Tunisia’s national grid is connected to those of Algeria and Libya which together helped supply about 12% of Tunisia’s power consumption in the first half of .
Who produces electricity in Tunisia?
State power utility company STEG controls 92.1% of the country’s installed power production capacity and produces 83.5% of the electricity. The remainder is imported from Algeria and Libya as well as produced by Tunisia’s only independent power producer (IPP) Carthage Power Company (CPC), a 471-MW combined-cycle power plant.
Can offshore wind power be used in Tunisia?
Offshore wind power has the potential to play a key role in achieving the future renewable energy targets due to the country favorable geographic location and coastline. However, there are currently no offshore wind farm projects nor experiences in Tunisia.
Will the got build a power plant in Tunisia in ?
In , the GOT is also expected to launch a tender for the construction of at least one 470-550 MW combined-cycle power plant in Skhira (south Tunisia) as an IPP. In May , the Ministry of Energy and Mines published a call for private projects to build renewable power plants with a total capacity of 1,000 MW (500 MW wind and 500 MW solar).
Why is wind power important in Tunisia?
Wind power (WP) has the potential to impact the achievement of renewable energy targets due to the country’s favorable geographic location. Furthermore, Tunisia has the potential to implement viable wind energy projects that satisfy fundamental economical profitability (Georgiou et al., ).
What is the Tunisian Solar Plan?
The Tunisian Solar Plan (TSP) outlines the following renewable energy installed capacity targets by : In additional, the TSP also calls for 100 MW of bioenergy by , which Tunisian officials classify as a renewable energy source.
