The Tunisian governorate of Tataouine has presented a project to develop a 120 MW solar photovoltaic plant in the Remada West area, Tunisia (Tunisie Numérique, 22/09/2026).
The EUR80m (USD91m) facility is expected to cover approximately 200 ha and produce around 260 GWh/year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of about 200,000 people. It is also expected to reduce CO2 emissions by nearly 130 kt/year. The project includes a 2 km, 225 kV overhead transmission line connecting the plant to the Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company network through the existing line between Borj Bourguiba and the Tataouine power plant.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2027, with a contractual implementation period of 15 to 18 months. Commissioning is targeted for end-2028.
The project forms part of Tunisia’s national strategy to reduce its energy deficit and raise the share of renewables in electricity generation to 35% by 2030. As of 2025, Tunisia had an installed solar capacity of 913 MW, representing around 13% of total installed capacity.
