STEGA introduces solar battery storage in Tunisia
The Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company (ESTAĞ) announced the issuance of a new technical reference that, for the first time, allows the integration of energy storage systems using batteries within photovoltaic facilities connected to the low-voltage electrical grid. This measure aims to improve the utilization of solar energy by storing electricity generated during the day for later use during peak periods or in case of power outages, especially in light of the unprecedented heatwave in Tunisia in July, which led to periodic power cuts to maintain grid stability. The new reference establishes strict technical and safety conditions, including international standards for battery quality, mandatory monitoring systems, and reliability tests for high-capacity equipment. Experts believe that this development supports the growth of the solar energy storage market and enhances Tunisia’s capacity to meet demand challenges. However, it does not fully resolve all electricity issues, which are also influenced by other challenges such as dependence on natural gas and the increasing number of renewable energy projects.
