It previously completed a 500 MW solar tender in December 2019. In October 2024, Tunisia launched a new tender for 200 MW of large-scale solar, with submissions due by Jan. 15, 2025. Tunisia’s total solar capacity reached 506 MW by the end of 2023, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Given these favourable conditions, the productivity of photovoltaic systems in Tunisia is very high. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) Global Atlas, annual electricity production from PV systems ranges from 1,450 kWh per kilowatt peak (kWp) in the northwest to 1,830 kWh/kWp in the extreme southeast.
Tunisia is advancing utility-scale solar through a series of tenders, including the latest procurement round launched in January 2023. It previously completed a 500 MW solar tender in December 2019. In October 2024, Tunisia launched a new tender for 200 MW of large-scale solar, with submissions due by Jan. 15, 2025.
Tunisia is accelerating its energy transition by awarding 4 solar photovoltaic projects totaling 498 MW to reduce import dependency and promote renewable energy. Faced with growing energy dependency, Tunisia is taking a decisive step forward in its commitment to renewable energy.
Solar radiation varies from 1,800 kilowatt hours (kWh)/m²/year in the north to 2,600 kWh/m²/year in the south. The average total horizontal irradiation ranges from 4.2 kWh/m²/day in the northwest of Tunisia to 5.8 kWh/m²/day in the extreme south. Given these favourable conditions, the productivity of photovoltaic systems in Tunisia is very high.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide.
