Tunisia Advances Solar Energy Drive

Tunisia is facing critical challenges in the energy sector. In 2026, the government launched more than 300 request proposals for solar power projects, with a total capacity of up to 455 megawatts. This step comes amidst an energy crisis the country experienced during the summer, revealing the fragility of the production system and its heavy reliance on imports. The energy independence index has dropped to just 34%, with aspirations to raise this figure to over 50% by 2035. The goal of this initiative is to accelerate the transition to a clean energy system based on private investments by turning many small and medium projects into tangible realities, and by stimulating financing, manufacturing, and maintenance within a new economic chain. Despite the government’s progress and ongoing efforts despite administrative challenges, implementing these projects requires speeding up procedures and streamlining bureaucracy to convert requests into productive, grid-connected projects. This will enhance energy security and reduce dependence on external supplies.
