Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy Issues Call for Tenders for 8 Photovoltaic Power Plant Projects

The Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy has issued a call for tenders for the selection of 8 photovoltaic power plant projects, with a production capacity capped at 100 MWac (power injected into the STEG network) under a concession regime.

Context: Achieving 30% Renewable Energy Quota

In this context, it is essential to recall that to reach the 30% quota for renewable energies in the electricity mix, we need to achieve nearly 3815 MW of renewable electricity capacity.

Wind Energy Potential Remains Untapped

Furthermore, it is worth noting that the strategy published by the Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy includes wind energy among the renewable energies, although it struggles to materialize its prospects regarding wind power. Tunisia's wind energy potential remains significant but untapped.
