4 FAQs about Which units in Tunisia are carrying out energy storage projects

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 2023.

Why is Tunisia investing in a secure electricity network?

To ensure a resilient electricity network, Tunisia is investing in modern, secure infrastructure. The ELMED interconnection project, which will link Tunisia to Italy by 2028, will play a key role in stabilizing energy supply, while supporting the energy transition in Tunisia and Europe.

Will the got build a power plant in Tunisia in 2024?

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).
