In Tunisia, between the Mediterranean and the Sahara Desert, an energy revolution is accelerating. The high-level meeting presided over by the President has pressed the button to launch a plan that could change the country's energy destiny - wind and photovoltaic projects with a total capacity of over 2.85 gigawatts will be intensively tendered in the next two years. This country, which relies on imports for 90% of its energy, is striving to transform the wind and sunshine of the desert into a new cornerstone of energy independence.

Leading wind power, step-by-step development

In the plan, wind power projects dominate with a total capacity of 1.2 gigawatts. Among them, Jibili Province will build a flagship wind farm with a scale of 600 megawatts. In addition, there is a potential reserve of 800 megawatts of wind power projects that will be launched after evaluation.

Strategic driven, with clear goals

This move aims to reduce dependence on imported natural gas, with the goal of increasing the proportion of renewable energy to 35% by 2030. The longer-term goal is to use the electricity interconnection between Italy and Tunisia to build Tunisia into a hub for exporting clean energy to Europe.

Mechanism innovation and challenges coexist

The government introduces franchising and payment guarantees to attract investment, and establishes a high-level committee to break down administrative barriers. However, challenges such as power grid upgrades, community acceptance, and wind speed fluctuations remain key tests for the success of the project.
