Second Phase: Central Solar Power Station and Additional Installations
In the second phase, a 165 KWc solar power station is planned for the ministry's headquarters, and a 10 KWc solar station will be installed at the Regional Directorate of Sousse.
Progress Update: Four Solar Power Stations Already Installed
Four solar power stations have already been installed in Gabes, Tozeur, Zaghouan, and Tunis, preparing for the integration of their production into the electrical grid, with the remaining stations to be installed in other regional directions.
