PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Tunisia has great potential for electricity production from renewable energies and is pursuing an expansion target of 35% of electricity production from photovoltaic and wind turbines by 2030. Due to the tense economic situation and high government debt, the private sector is expected to provide around two thirds of the required expansion of renewable capacity energy (3.5 GW). But administrative hurdles are slowing down private companies. At the same time, the integration of photovoltaic and wind turbines poses technical and regulatory challenges for the state power producer and grid operator STEG. The APST II project aims to promote the expansion of privately financed solar and wind farms and thus contribute to accelerating the Tunisian energy transition. To this end, it works with the Ministry of Energy, STEG and the private sector. The project supports the Tunisian Ministry of Energy in preparing and implementing international tenders for large solar and wind farms. Against this background, the project advises independent power producers and the Ministry of Energy on legal, regulatory and financial issues. Furthermore, APST II promotes the technical skills of the state electricity supplier STEG for the grid connection of large solar and wind farms. One focus is to modernize grid planning to better predict and compensate for the fluctuating availability of renewable electricity. In addition, innovative approaches to digitalization in the electricity market should strengthen all partners in accelerating administrative processes, modeling the Tunisian ener
