The Tunisian Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy has launched a tender for the development of 200 MW of solar PV capacity under the concession regime in Tunisia. The two tendered projects will each have a capacity of up to 100 MW. Their location has however not yet been revealed. Interested bidders can submit their application until 30 April 2025.
In December 2024, the government of Tunisia approved two power generation tenders under the concession regime, seeking to procure 1,700 MW of renewable power capacity. The projects are expected to be operational by 2027 and to generate around 1 TWh/year.
In 2022, Tunisia adopted a law on renewables aimed at covering 12% of its power mix with renewables by 2020 and 35% by 2030. However, despite the launch of several auction rounds since 2017, the development of the programme is far behind the initial schedule, with only 5% of renewables in the power mix in 2020 and 6% in 2023 (4.9% solar, 1.5% wind and less than 1% hydropower).
