Tunisian wind power energy storage system supplier

In 2022, only 3% of Tunisia's electricity is generated from renewables, including hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy. While STEG continues to resist private investment in the sector, Parliament's 2015 energy law encourages IPPs in renewable energy technologies.

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.

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.

TuNur Ltd is an independent renewable energy, transmission and green hydrogen developer at the epicentre of Europe and Africa TuNur is developing a series of renewable energy projects that will produce low-cost green electrons and molecules in Tunisia for export. Each export project consists of three components: 01. Generation 02. Transmission 03.

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.

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).
