What is the Tunisian Solar Plan?

The Tunisian Solar Plan contains 40 projects aimed at promoting solar thermal and photovoltaic energies, wind energy, as well as energy efficiency measures. The plan also incorporates the ELMED project; a 400KV submarine cable interconnecting Tunisia and Italy.

Does Tunisia have a good solar energy potential?

Tunisia has very good solar radiation potential which ranges from 1800 kWh/m² per year in the North to 2600kWh/m² per year in the South. Tunisia has 1,800MW of solar energy potential which is until now yet to be harnessed.

Will TuNur use concentrated solar power in South West Tunisia?

TuNur plans to use Concentrated Solar Power to generate a potential 2.5GW of electricity on 100km2 of desert in South West Tunisia by 2018. At present the project is at the fund-raising stage.

How many wind farms are there in Tunisia?

Two main wind farms have been developed until now: Sidi-Daoud and Bizerte. The first wind power project of Tunisia started in 2000, with the installation of the Sidi-Daoud’s wind farm in the gulf of Tunis.
