Find the Tunisian industrial leader in the manufacture of industrial batteries and the commercialization of lead-acid electric batteries.
Tunisia aims to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The country currently gets only 3% to 6% of its electricity from renewable sources, mostly from wind and hydro. Solar energy capacity is at 35 megawatts (MW). In addition to wind and hydro, the Tunisian government plans to use biogas to produce renewable energy.
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.
Tunisia's total installed renewable power generating capacity had reached approximately 352 MW by the end of 2019, with wind energy at 245 MW, hydropower at 66 MW) and PV at 62 MW (IRENA, 2020b).
As of March 2020, the Tunisian electricity sector is managed by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and the Energy Transition. For the past two years, renewable energy portfolio was managed by the Ministry of Industry, Small and Medium Size Enterprises.
In 2024, 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 2018, 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).
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 2023. Moreover, in August 2023, Tunisia's sub-sea connection project with Italy, called ELMED, was approved for $337 million funding from the European Commission.
