Power Sector Transition in Tunisia
Three key drivers will dictate Tunisia''s energy transition: energy security, given Tunisia''s growing energy balance deficit; economics, given the relative decrease in the price of renewables; and environment, given the Country''s commitment to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
Tunisia''s energy infrastructure | African Energy
Revised in November 2024, this map provides a detailed view of the energy sector in Tunisia. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including gas and liquid fuels, natural gas, hybrid, hydroelectricity, solar (PV and CSP), wind and biomass/biogas.
Microgrid
Microgrid technology enables universal access to electricity by deploying modular, containerized, off-grid renewable power plants in outlying areas. Schools, small villages, and medical clinics all benefit and flourish once they are powered up. Microgrids are helping Eskom to strengthen its existing and sometimes constrained infrastructure.
Eskom moving into e-mobility through microgrids and energy
Eskom showed off its microgrid technology and mobility solutions at E-Fest over the weekend. They have started rolling out containerised microgrid technology.

Eskom''s new microgrid plan
Eskom told MyBroadband it had installed 20 microgrids to date, just 20% of what it had planned in its previous financial year. The power utility said the goal up to March 2025 was to install an additional 33 microgrids of various sizes based on load requirements. The utility has halved its microgrid target while also doubling the rollout period.
