Assessment viability for hybrid energy system (PV/wind/diesel)
The absence of clean electricity in Tunisia means a large number of people who are deprived of much needed socioeconomic development. The proposed hybrid energy system comprises of solar energy conversion system (PV), wind turbine, diesel generator and energy storage units. The schematic diagram of the PV–Wind–Diesel system is shown in
The Future of Energy Storage | MIT Energy Initiative
MITEI''s three-year Future of Energy Storage study explored the role that energy storage can play in fighting climate change and in the global adoption of clean energy grids. Replacing fossil fuel-based power generation with power
Tunisia Launches Power Modernization Initiative with
In 2022, the Government of Tunisia adopted an energy transition framework with a goal to incorporate 35% renewable energy by 2030 – a tenfold renewables increase in less than a decade. USAID tapped Berkeley
Review of electrical energy storage technologies,
Electrical energy storage offers two other important advantages. First, it decouples electricity generation from the load or electricity user, thus making it easier to regulate supply and demand. Second, it allows distributed
Technologies and economics of electric energy storages in
Current power systems are still highly reliant on dispatchable fossil fuels to meet variable electrical demand. As fossil fuel generation is progressively replaced with intermittent and less predictable renewable energy generation to decarbonize the power system, Electrical energy storage (EES) technologies are increasingly required to address the supply

6 FAQs about [Electrical energy storage Tunisia]
What percentage of Tunisia's electricity is renewable?
In 2022, only 3% of Tunisia’s electricity is generated from renewables, including hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy. While STEG continues to resist private investment in the sector, Parliament’s 2015 energy law encourages IPPs in renewable energy technologies.
What drives Tunisia's energy transition?
Three key drivers will dictate Tunisia's energy transition: energy security, given Tunisia's growing energy balance deficit; economics, given the relative decrease in the price of renewables; and environment, given the Country's commitment to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
Who produces electricity in Tunisia?
State power utility company STEG controls 92.1% of the country’s installed power production capacity and produces 83.5% of the electricity. The remainder is imported from Algeria and Libya as well as produced by Tunisia’s only independent power producer (IPP) Carthage Power Company (CPC), a 471-MW combined-cycle power plant.
What are Tunisia's energy projects?
One third of the projects will be for wind farms and two thirds for solar photovoltaics. Tunisia’s national grid is connected to those of Algeria and Libya which together helped supply about 12% of Tunisia’s power consumption in the first half of 2023.
What percentage of Tunisia's electricity is generated from natural gas?
In 2020, natural gas made up 86% of Tunisia's installed capacity and 95% of power generation, while renewable energy made up 13% of installed capacity and 5% of power generation. Fossil fuels represent the majority of Tunisia's electricity generation mix (approximately 97%), with natural gas being the primary fuel source.
What is the energy sector in Tunisia?
The sector also offers opportunities for possible Build-Own-Operate (BOO) or Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects. Much of Tunisia’s electricity production comes from gas turbines. Major players in this sector include General Electric (USA), Mitsubishi (Japan), Ansaldo (Italy), and Siemens (Germany).
