Will TuNur use concentrated solar power in South West Tunisia?

TuNur plans to use Concentrated Solar Power to generate a potential 2.5GW of electricity on 100km2 of desert in South West Tunisia by 2018. At present the project is at the fund-raising stage.

Does Tunisia have a good solar energy potential?

Tunisia has very good solar radiation potential which ranges from 1800 kWh/m² per year in the North to 2600kWh/m² per year in the South. Tunisia has 1,800MW of solar energy potential which is until now yet to be harnessed.

What is the energy sector in Tunisia?

The energy sector in Tunisia includes all production, processing and, transit of energy consumption in this country. The production involves the upstream sector that includes general oil and gas, the downstream sector that includes the only refinery in Tunisia and most of the production of natural gas, and varied electrical/renewable energies.

Will Tunisia's energy future be dominated by hydrocarbon-based generation?

Though hydrocarbon-based generation will continue to dominate Tunisia’s overall energy picture in the near term, the potential for growth in wind and solar power generation is significant. The GOT is highly interested in diversifying into renewable energy technologies to help meet growing domestic electricity demand.
