Tunisia outdoor wind power base station price

Wind power projects currently operating in Tunisia consist of three utility-scale wind farms producing a total capacity of 244 MW of electricity (STEG, 2020). The wind farms have been installed in the north of the country as indicated in Table 4.

Offshore wind power has the potential to play a key role in achieving the future renewable energy targets due to the country favorable geographic location and coastline. However, there are currently no offshore wind farm projects nor experiences in Tunisia.

Wind energy forms an important component of the Tunisian renewable energy program and targets (Ministère de l'Energie, des Mines et des Energies Renouvelables de Tunisie, 2020). (1) Large-scale projects, subject to concession (tender process): covering projects over 10 MW for solar and over 30 MW for wind, awarded via competitive concessions,

State power utility company STEG controls 92.1% of the country's installed power production capacity and produces 83.5% of the electricity. The remainder is imported from Algeria and Libya as well as produced by Tunisia's only independent power producer (IPP) Carthage Power Company (CPC), a 471-MW combined-cycle power plant.

In 2024, the GOT is also expected to launch a tender for the construction of at least one 470-550 MW combined-cycle power plant in Skhira (south Tunisia) as an IPP. In May 2018, the Ministry of Energy and Mines published a call for private projects to build renewable power plants with a total capacity of 1,000 MW (500 MW wind and 500 MW solar).

Financing Wind Energy Development: Tunisia has a good reputation with international finance institutions and coupled with a robust renewable energy framework the environment is favorable for private sector and foreign direct investments in wind energy.
