Tunisia, Tunis: Tunisia aims to allocate 7.1 billion Tunisian dinars ($2.2 billion) for the development of the power sector in 2025, including renewable energy projects. The country has set a target to expand reliance on solar and wind power to 35 percent in the next six years and slash electricity imports from Algeria and Libya.
In the first 9 months of this year, Tunisia imported nearly 14% of its power supplies. The rest was secured through the domestic network. A report stated that according to the 2025 draft budget law, the Government intends to allocate the funds to support the power sector and ensure sufficient subsidies to check any increase in prices. It is expected that solar and wind energy projects would enable Tunisia to produce nearly 4850 MW of green electricity by 2030.
