Where is the first large scale solar power plant in Tunisia?

The first large scale solar power plant of a 10MW capacity, co-financed by KfW and NIF (Neighbourhood Investment Facility) and implemented by STEG, is in Tozeur. TuNur CSP project is Tunisia’s most ambitious renewable energy project yet.

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.

Is Tunisia a good place to invest in solar energy?

Tunisia’s climate presents a key solar energy opportunity and, together with an improved investment framework and a highly skilled workforce, the country should be well positioned support its ambitious Plan Solaire Tunisien. However, to date, Tunisia has fallen short of its intermediate solar PV targets.

How much power does Tunisia have?
