Tunisia

The national energy has actually authorized an agreement with the Total-owned Qair business formerly called Quadran International for a 200 kW floating solar power plant and a research study of Tunisian potential for the innovation.

Released in July 2019, the procurement exercise has actually seen final quotes varying from TND millimes 125.3922 ($ 0.0444)/ kWh to TND millimes 129.9736/ kWh for jobs varying from 1 MW to 10 MW. The tender great deal for projects of 1 MW, final bids are between TND millimes 189.500 ($ 0.0671)/ kWh to TND millimes 213.500/ kWh.

Scientists in Tunisia have actually recommended a technique of establishing the particular I-V account of a partly shaded PV module, and also to theorize it right into a string account.

The brand-new regulative structure consists of the alternative to offer electrical energy to huge power customers via reciprocal PPAs.

The Tunisian Ministry of Mines and Energy has confirmed that Norway’s Scatec Solar has secured 300 MW at three sites. It also revealed that France’s Engie and China’s TBEA each picked up 100 MW projects. The lowest bid came in at $0.025/kWh, while $0.034/kWh was the highest offer.

Scatec Solar has been awarded three solar power plant projects in Tunisia totaling approximately 360 MW, following an international tender launched earlier.

Major Italy-based oil and gas producer has completed an off-grid solar-plus-storage project in Tunisia. Earlier, it commissioned a similar 10-megawatt installation in Pakistan. The Tunisian project was deployed in collaboration with local state-owned ETAP.

The African Development Bank’s (AfDB) board of directors have approved a €138 million (US$154 million) investment for Tunisia’s state-run electricity distribution network.

The 10 MW facility is located in Tozeur, in southern Tunisia. The project was also financed by the German development bank KFW under Tunisia’s solar program Plan Solaire Tunisien (PST).
