GAMCO ENERGY accompanies you to realize your energetic autonomy by taking advantage of the Photovoltaic Solar Energy in Tunisia to produce your own electricity. Solar Energy Today, you can harness the solar energy in many different ways : generate electricity, make hot water, heating buildings and more.
According to the Global Atlas of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the annual power generation of solar photovoltaic systems varies between 1,450 kWh per kilowatt-peak (kW p) in the northwest region and 1,830 kWh per kW p in the extreme southeast. Tunisia enjoys a high rate of sunshine, exceeding 3,000 hours per year.

Solar Energy in Tunisia. Tunisia has good renewable energy potential, especially solar and wind, which the government is trying to tap to ensure a safe energy future. The country 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.
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.
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).
With these favourable conditions, the productivity of PV solar systems in Tunisia is very high. According to IRENA’s Global Atlas, annual electricity production by PV solar systems varies between 1 450 kWh per kilowatt-peak (kWp) in the northwest region and 1 830 kWh/kWp for systems installed in the extreme southeast region.
The total investment required to implement the Tunisian Solar Program plan have been estimated at $2.5 billion, including $175 million from the National Fund, $530 million from the public sector, $1,660 million from private sector funds, and $24 million from international cooperation.
From the commercialisation of SWH systems in 1982 until the end of 2018, the cumulative total area of solar collectors installed in Tunisia is estimated at 1 040 000 m2, as shown in Figure 28.
The first large scale solar power plant of a 10MW capacity, co-financed by KfW and NIF (Neighbourhood Investment Facility) and implemented by STEG, is in Tozeur. TuNur CSP project is Tunisia’s most ambitious renewable energy project yet.
