In Tataouine, in the governorate of Tunisia that goes by the same name, a photovoltaic power plant is in operation that can reach a maximum installed capacity of 10 MW to supply more than 20 GWh of energy per year to the national grid. The plant is equipped with a solar tracking system that optimises the energy that is produced.
Tunisia has a target of generating 30% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. The south of the country, where our Adam and Tataouine power plants are located, is an ideal area for solar power generation.
In Tunisia, Nur Energie is developing the world’s first CSP solar export project between North Africa and Europe. For more information about the TuNur project please visit the TuNur company website:
Nur Energie has built and maintained a solar weather station for 3 years on the TuNur site to receive real time solar data on the ground. Tunisia has up to 20% better radiation than some of the best sites in Europe, and the Sahara desert provides significant land to develop large scale solar power projects.

The African Development Bank and the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA), in partnership with the International Finance Corporation and UAE's AMEA Power, today herald Tunisia's first privately-financed solar project.
The plant is central to Tunisia's strategy to reduce its reliance on natural gas. It aims to bolster the nation's renewable energy share to an ambitious 35% by 2030, thus the Kairouan Solar project is not just about power generation; it is about regional transformation.
The 100-megawatt, $86 million solar plant located in Tunisia's Kairouan governorate will benefit from up to $26 million in debt financing from the African Development Bank, including $13 million sourced from SEFA, a multi-donor fund that provides finance to unlock private sector investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
AMEA Power’s Chairman, Hussain Al Nowais, said: “We are delighted to reach financial close on this 120MW solar power plant in Tunisia, our first project in the country. This is a significant milestone for AMEA Power and for Tunisia, as it represents the largest solar project fully developed in the country to date.
This initiative is set to revolutionise the nation's energy scene by cutting power generation costs, significantly trimming greenhouse gas emissions by over 90,000 tons annually, and bolstering Tunisia's green transition. The partners signed project launch papers on Tuesday 26 September, at the government headquarters in Al Qasba, Tunis.
This venture exemplifies our collective effort to bolster Tunisia's energy independence and fortify its green transition," Shonibare said. SEFA is a multi-donor Special Fund that provides catalytic finance to unlock private sector investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
