Tunisia energy storage power station
Renewable energy solutions provider Scatec has secured a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tunisia"s state utility, Société This landmark project will be the first large-scale
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.
Revised in November 2024, this map provides a detailed view of the energy sector in Tunisia. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including gas and liquid fuels, natural gas, hybrid, hydroelectricity, solar (PV and CSP), wind and biomass/biogas.
To ensure a resilient electricity network, Tunisia is investing in modern, secure infrastructure. The ELMED interconnection project, which will link Tunisia to Italy by 2028, will play a key role in stabilizing energy supply, while supporting the energy transition in Tunisia and Europe.
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.

Major substations are indicated as are power generation projects with battery storage. Generation sites are marked with different sized circles to show sites of 1-9MW, 10-99MW, 100
Through June 2023, Tunisia had about 565 MW of installed renewable energy capacity of which 240 MW was wind power, 263 MW solar power, and 62 MW of hydroelectric power,
In the electrical energy transformation process, the grid-level energy storage system plays an essential role in balancing power generation and utilization. Batteries have
Despite recent policy developments, Tunisia''s energy consumption has been rapidly increasing in the last few decades and is still dominated by fossil fuels, while the plans for expansion of gas-powered
