Tunisia faces the risk of a repeat of power disruptions in summer 2027. Consumption reached around 6,400 megawatts in summer 2026, while available capacity during peak periods stood at only 4,400–4,450 megawatts, leaving an estimated shortfall of around 1,550 megawatts. The government plans to add capacity through gas turbines and engines, restart units and expand solar power. But project delivery and the timing of their entry into service are not guaranteed. One expert estimated that the additions could provide 550 megawatts during the day and 250 megawatts at night—less than enough to close the gap. Slow progress on solar projects, limited storage capacity and the electricity sector’s 90.8% reliance on gas are also hampering the system’s ability to meet demand. Households account for around 70% of consumption in summer. The report says the coming months will be decisive: avoiding a summer crisis will require projects to come online on schedule, gas and storage to be secured, and a plan to cover peak demand.
