Energy: Tunisia Attempts to Catch Up with Neighbors with 5 Projects

On April 27, 2026, the Assembly of People's Representatives adopted five bills for the development of photovoltaic power plants in Khobna, Mazzouna, El Ksour, Sagdoud, and Menzel El Habib, aiming to produce approximately 598 megawatts of electricity. The total investment cost is estimated at 1.64 billion dinars, with production tariffs ranging from 98.8 to 124.4 millimes per kilowatt-hour. These projects are expected to reduce gas imports by 13.3% and generate savings of 246 million dinars. The government is also implementing tax incentives to attract investors.
