6 FAQs about [Tunisia energy system resilience]
What drives Tunisia's energy transition?
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.
Should Tunisia phase out energy subsidies?
Tunisia's energy subsidies have become increasingly costly, averaging 2.1 percent of GDP over the last decade and jumping to 5.3 percent in 2022. Phasing out energy subsidies would help address not only the macro-fiscal crisis but could also improve the energy sector performance and stimulate renewable energy production.
Is energy eficiency a key part of Tunisia's recovery plan?
Amid the coronavirus outbreak in early 2020, renewables and energy eficiency have become a key part of the country’s recovery plans. Tunisia has witnessed growing deficits in its energy balance over the past two decades.
What is the energy system in Tunisia?
In BAU, the Tunisian energy system is based on the continuation of already legislated policies, current trends, existing plans and cost improvements in low-carbon technologies, without considering additional climate targets, with fossil fuels remaining the prime forms of energy until 2050 ( Table 1 ). Table 1.
Why does Tunisia need more electricity?
As one of the most climate vulnerable Mediterranean countries, Tunisia's electrical system is expecting increased demand resulting from expanding peak-hour demand patterns, intensifying cooling needs stemming from greater warm spells, and increasing desalination needs.
How will energy conservation impact Tunisia?
According to the revised Tunisian NDC, over the period of 2021–2030, the implementation of energy conservation programs will result in an average of 3.6% reduction in primary energy intensity and a 12% share of renewable energy in primary energy consumption until 2030 [ 8 ].
