The energy sector in Tunisia includes all production, processing and, transit of energy consumption in this country. The production involves the upstream sector that includes general oil and gas, the downstream sector that includes the only refinery in Tunisia and most of the production of natural gas, and varied electrical/renewable energies.
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.
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.
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.
First utility-scale photovoltaic plant (10 MW, in Tozeur) was commissioned in 2019 on German money. Tunisia aims to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The country currently gets only 3% to 6% of its electricity from renewable sources, mostly from wind and hydro. Solar energy capacity is at 35 megawatts (MW).
One third of the projects will be for wind farms and two thirds for solar photovoltaics. Tunisia’s national grid is connected to those of Algeria and Libya which together helped supply about 12% of Tunisia’s power consumption in the first half of 2023.
