Tunisia approved more than 2.3 GW of new renewable energy capacity for implementation in 2026, to cut the energy deficit and expand domestic clean power generation. The High Committee for Private Electricity Generation has cleared tenders for 2 GW of wind power across multiple regions, including Kebili, Nabeul, and Gafsa, with additional sites in Zaghouan, Medenine, and Kasserine to follow after wind assessments. The government has also approved a 350-MW solar project in Kebili equipped with battery storage, alongside a 77.25 MW wind farm in Zaghouan and two 100 MW solar projects in Tataouine and Gabes. The push supports Tunisia’s goal of sourcing 35% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
