4 FAQs about Tunisia green electricity

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.

Can Tunisia become energy independent?

Tunisia has the potential to become energy independent and to transform itself from an energy importer to an energy exporter. Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished such as sunlight and wind.

Can Tunisia export green electricity?

Exploiting its renewable energy potential will also allow Tunisia to export green electricity, including green hydrogen, contributing to the GHG emission targets of the Maghreb and Europe.
