Conclusion of Tunisian BESS project
Eckehard Tröster and Rabea Sandherr travelled to Tunisia to present the results and findings of the project. The event was held on June, 26 th in Tunis for representatives of the Energy
To ensure a resilient electricity network, Tunisia is investing in modern, secure infrastructure. The ELMED interconnection project, which will link Tunisia to Italy by 2028, will play a key role in stabilizing energy supply, while supporting the energy transition in Tunisia and Europe.
The updated infrastructure map shows that Tunisia's electricity infrastructure has been significantly expanded relative to the 2017 data plotted in Figure 2, with a range of interconnection ratings spanning the country (90 kV, 150kV, 225kV, 400kV).37 It is necessary to analyse the development of the past energy demand to project that of the future.
The T-1.5oC scenario requires an investment of 110 billion Tunisian dinar (trillion TND US$36 billion) in power generation and 129 billion TND (US$42 billion) in heat generation. The total investment in power and heat generation capacities therefore adds up to 239 billion trillion TND (US$78 billion).
Tunisia must build up and expand its power generation system to increase the energy access rate to 100%. Building new power plants – no matter the technology – will require new infrastructure (including power grids), spatial planning, a stable policy framework, and access to finance.
