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.
Depending on the size of the project, Tunisia employs two different project regimes: the Concessions regime, which is applicable for large-scale projects typically designed for energy export, and the Authorizations regime, which is for projects with a maximum capacity of 10 MW, 30 MW, and 15 MW for solar, wind, and biomass projects, respectively.
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.
