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 power plants by 2030. Due to the tense economic situation and the high level of government debt, the private sector is expected to provide around two thirds of the required capacity expansion of renewable energies (3.5 GW). However, administrative hurdles are slowing down private companies. At the same time, the integration of photovoltaic and wind power plants presents the state-owned electricity producer and grid operator STEG with technical and regulatory challenges. The APST II project aims to promote the expansion of privately financed solar and wind parks and thus help accelerate the Tunisian energy transition. To this end, it is working 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 parks. Against this background, the project advises independent power producers and the Ministry of Energy on legal, regulatory and financial issues. APST II also promotes the technical expertise of the state-owned electricity supplier STEG for the grid connection of large solar and wind farms. One focus is to modernize grid planning in order to better predict and compensate for the fluctuating availability of renewable electricity. In addition, innovative approaches to digitization in the electricity market should strengthen all partners in accelerating administrative processes, modeling the Tunisian energy system according to international standards and up
