Tunisia Boosts Solar Investment to Fill Energy Gap
Solar energy in Tunisia represents a strategic solution to address the energy deficit, which exceeds 59%. The country is increasingly relying on it as a primary source of renewable energy to achieve its energy transition goals. Since the launch of the solar energy system in 2018, many institutions, including the tourism sector, have been able to generate between 40% and 50% of their electricity consumption through photovoltaic technologies, contributing to reduced financial costs and lowering polluting emissions. Additionally, the use of solar energy is expanding to include water desalination and agricultural purposes. Efforts are underway to increase its share in the national energy mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2035, supported by financial and technical assistance from the National Agency for Energy Control. The figures also indicate a rise in domestic and industrial solar power systems, with over 420 MW of capacity and 150,000 photovoltaic systems installed among citizens, reflecting growing energy awareness and ongoing investment in this sector.
