Tunisia: Tunisia has launched two new solar projects worth about $15 million as part of plans to widen the use of renewable energy. The projects in the West-Central Kasserine Governorate, to be completed in late 2025, will have a capacity of 10 MW each and are the latest in a series of solar energy projects announced by the government in 2024.
In a report, a newspaper said the government has recently signed contracts for two larger solar power projects for the production of 300 MW worth almost 800 million Tunisian dinars ($258 million).
The projects are located in Gafsa in central Tunisia and the Southern Tataouine Governorate. Other projects are under way in the country for a targeted production of 500 MW.
“All these projects are part of a strategy devised by the government to expand the share of renewable in the energy mix to 35% in 2030 and encourage investment in such projects,” the report explained.
