For over three decades, Tunisia has been committed to a clean energy transition through a proactive and uninterrupted energy management policy, positioning itself as a pioneer in the region. Tunisia embarked on an accelerated energy transition to achieve multiple objectives; to realise its energy security through a diversified energy mix and to improve the country’s economic competitiveness within the framework of its strategic vision towards a low-carbon economy. Tunisia’s energy transition strategy is based on four main pillars: energy security; increasing energy independence; reducing costs; and diversifying energy resources. With abundant renewables sources, renewable energy technologies constitute the main pillar of Tunisia’s energy transition strategy given the socio-economic benefits that this strategy will provide to the Tunisian economy in terms of increased investments, a clean economic growth, job creation and preserving the environment. Similarly, improving energy efficiency would contribute to this energy transition by reducing the demand for energy. In this regard, a Tunisian solar plan was adopted in 2015, which aims to reduce primary energy demand by 30% and increase the share of renewables in the electricity production mix to 30% by 2030.
