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.
Tunisia's national grid is connected to those of Algeria and Libya which together helped supply about 12% of Tunisia's power consumption in the first half of 2023. Moreover, in August 2023, Tunisia's sub-sea connection project with Italy, called ELMED, was approved for $337 million funding from the European Commission.
Three key drivers will dictate Tunisia's energy transition: energy security, given Tunisia's growing energy balance deficit; economics, given the relative decrease in the price of renewables; and environment, given the Country's commitment to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2022, only 3% of Tunisia's electricity is generated from renewables, including hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy. While STEG continues to resist private investment in the sector, Parliament's 2015 energy law encourages IPPs in renewable energy technologies.
