4 FAQs about [Solar farms in Tunisia]

What is a photovoltaic power plant in Tunisia?

In Tataouine, in the governorate of Tunisia that goes by the same name, a photovoltaic power plant is in operation that can reach a maximum installed capacity of 10 MW to supply more than 20 GWh of energy per year to the national grid. The plant is equipped with a solar tracking system that optimises the energy that is produced.

Does Tunisia have a solar power plant?

First utility-scale photovoltaic plant (10 MW, in Tozeur) was commissioned in 2019 on German money. Tunisia aims to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The country currently gets only 3% to 6% of its electricity from renewable sources, mostly from wind and hydro. Solar energy capacity is at 35 megawatts (MW).

Where are wind farms located in Tunisia?

Tunisia’s wind map illustrates the existence of several suitable sites for wind farms. The most interesting sites (speed exceeding 7 metres per second (m/s) at 80 metres height) are found in the regions of Bizerte and Nabeul, in the central region (Kasserine) and in the southern regions (Tataouine, Western Cape, Gabes and Kebili). Figure 17.

What is solar water heating in Tunisia?

Figure 26. Sources: ANME (2019). The solar water heating (SWH) sector in Tunisia was initiated in the 1980s through the creation, in 1982, of the first manufacturing unit for solar water heaters and the establishment of a specific consumer credit system.
