Outage Crisis Was Imposed
Tunisia’s Minister of Industry, Mines and Energy, Salah Zouari, acknowledged that the recurring power cuts in summer 2026 were an unavoidable reality, with some measures delayed and targets unmet. Peak demand reached 6,000 to 6,400 megawatts, compared with available capacity of about 4,450 megawatts. The ministry plans to close the gap by curbing consumption and adding capacity from renewable energy, storage and gas, including 150 megawatts before summer 2027. Tunisia’s energy self-sufficiency also fell to 32% in 2026, down from 36% in 2025, while the country aims to generate 35% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.
