Tunisia's Power Cuts Amid Heatwave

The poultry sector in Tunisia has been severely affected due to frequent power outages, especially during the recent heatwave. Poultry farmers suffered losses exceeding 90% of their income as ventilation and cooling systems failed, water and feed were interrupted, leading to the death of thousands of birds. Experts believe that the problem stems from the reduced capacity of the electricity grid to meet the increasing demand during the summer, a situation worsened by infrastructure deterioration and halted maintenance operations. Tunisia heavily relies on imported natural gas for electricity production, generating 92% of its power. The crisis has also caused widespread economic losses and social deterioration, prompting calls for urgent reforms that include boosting production capacity, rehabilitating the grid, and investing in solar energy.
