Comparison of energy storage needs in Tunisia

4 FAQs about Comparison of energy storage needs in Tunisia

What percentage of Tunisia's electricity is renewable?

In 2022, only 3% of Tunisia's electricity is generated from renewables, including hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy. While STEG continues to resist private investment in the sector, Parliament's 2015 energy law encourages IPPs in renewable energy technologies.

Does Tunisia rely on gas?

Tunisia mostly relies on gas imports to meet its primary energy needs: almost 97% of its electricity generation came from gas in 2016. However, energy policy puts the emphasis on renewable energy. Electricity generation from wind power strongly increased

How much energy does Tunisia use?

In Tunisia, over 95% of electricity generation relies on gas, while all renewable sources—hydropower, solar, and wind—combined account for about 4% only (Figure 1). The national energy plan aims to increase this share to 35% by 2030, and at least 80% by 2050.

Does Tunisia need more than solar and wind energy?

Tunisia needs more than solar and wind energy to achieve sustainable full energy self-sufficiency. Tunisia is embarking on an ambitious long-term clean energy transition, anchored in the rapid development of solar and wind projects.
