Source: IRENA. According to Global Energy Monitor, Tunisia has a generating capacity of 6,079 MW total, comprised of oil and natural gas (5,771 MW), solar (55 MW), and onshore wind (253 MW). In 2022, Tunisia increased its renewable energy target to 35% of total energy generation by 2030.
As one of the most climate vulnerable Mediterranean countries, Tunisia's electrical system is expecting increased demand resulting from expanding peak-hour demand patterns, intensifying cooling needs stemming from greater warm spells, and increasing desalination needs.
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.
