The remainder is imported from Algeria and Libya as well as produced by Tunisia’s only independent power producer (IPP) Carthage Power Company (CPC), a 471-MW combined-cycle power plant.

What technology is used in Tunisia?

Tunisia has been using this type of technology since the end of the 1970s (HendiZitoun photovoltaic pump at the CRGR), following the 1st oil crisis. The HammamBiadha solar village experiment also used this type of pumping, but without much success.

What is the energy situation in Tunisia?

The energy situation in Tunisia is marked by limited resources, a decrease in production and a sharp increase in demand. The gap between energy generation and national demand in hydrocarbons has created a deficit in the primary energy balance, which reached 49% in 2018, against 15% in 2010.

Does Tunisia have solar energy?

Solar energy has great potential on the African continent. On average, Tunisia has solar resources of over 3,000 hours/year, with some regions enjoying more sunshine than others. Most regions in the south of the country have more than 3,200 hours of sunshine a year, with peaks of 3,400 hours a year in the Gulf of Gabès (south-east).
