Tunisia is a country with abundant solar and wind energy resources, despite its status as an exporter of crude oil and natural gas, as well as an importer of refined petroleum. Expanding the country’s renewable energy capacity is a matter of energy security, cost reduction, and meeting environmental priorities. Tunisia adopted a solar policy in 2015, with a target of nearly 1.9 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable capacity by 2023 and a more ambitious 3.8 GW by 2030, representing a five-fold and ten-fold increase from the nation’s 2017 capacity, respectively. Tunisia is committed to raising the share of renewables in its electricity production mix to 30% by 2030, marking a substantial step toward a more sustainable energy future. (See Governmental Policies and Targets.) These renewable measures are critical steps forward in a country where natural gas currently dominates electricity generation and that has been primarily sourcing natural gas from Algeria and oil from Libya since the early 2000s. Tunisia’s energy transition is focused on diversifying its energy mix and incorporating renewables.
