Highlights

  • Tunisia aims to cover 35% of its power mix with renewables in 2030.
  • CO2 emissions decreased by 1.7% in 2022.
  • STEG has the monopoly on power generation, transmission and distribution, and manages gas transmission and distribution.
  • ETAP is the largest oil and gas company.
  • The country relies increasingly on gas imports from Algeria (62% in 2022).
  • Gas dominates its power mix (82% in 2022).
  • The government controls energy prices. It plans to accelerate the reduction of fuel subsidies in order to reduce the budget deficit.
  • Electricity prices closely follow gas prices due to the dominant share of gas in the power mix.
  • Total energy consumption remained stable in 2022.
  • Electricity consumption increased by 6% while gas consumption dipped by 2% in a context of limited supplies (2022).
  • The government plans to develop over 2 GW of renewables by 2025.
  • Tunisia aims to export up to 6 Mt of green hydrogen to Europe by 2050.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Industry, Mining, and Energy defines and implements the energy policy. It regulates the public energy companies through two directorates: the General Electricity Directorate and the General Hydrocarbons Directorate.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    Tunisia's gas production, which covered 61% of domestic consumption in 2010, has been declining since then and only covered 38% of consumption in 2022. The remainder is covered by imports from Algeria through contracts, a tax package ("forfait fiscal") on gas transit to Europe, and additional supplies; in May 2022, Algeria suspended additional supplies, thus limiting gas supply to Tunisia.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Most of the subsidies go to petroleum products, even if fuel subsidies have been progressively cut as in 2014 or 2017. From July 2016, a new mechanism was adopted to link the internal prices of finished oil products to its international prices. Since April 2020, due to multiple amendments, a ceiling range and a monthly pace of the mechanism are in place.

  • Energy Consumption

    The country's per capita consumption is 0.9 toe in 2022, which is 3 times lower than the EU average but average for the region. Its per capita electricity consumption is around 1 550 kWh (2022), also close to the average for North African countries (1 460 kWh).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    The first phase of the renewable power generation programme, that was launched in 2017, aimed to develop 1 GW of renewables (650 MW of solar and 350 MW of wind), 62% of which was assigned to IPPs, for a total investment of TND 2.5bn (US$836m). The programme sets a framework for private investors through calls for tenders and calls for projects.
