The project was launched by the GIZ in collaboration with the ANME, the objective is to improve the framework conditions and strengthen the sustainable structures of the photovoltaic market. The project has three axes of intervention:

  • Improvement of the framework conditions for the solar market development

  • Awarness of investors and identification of promising segments of the market

  • Market development in the pilot region of Sfax

In collaboration with its partners at local, regional and national level, the project will carry out actions aimed at improving the framework conditions and the implementation of tailored services.

Institutional framework and regulatory incentive:

In line with (inter) national recommendations, bureaucratic obstacles to investment will be removed, specifically in the implementation of national promotion programs. Other support measures, such as training and upgrading, will be optimized.

Market development:

The transparency of the products and services offered by companies in the Tunisian solar market will be improved, which will increase the positioning of companies in the Tunisian solar sector. In addition, the project supports innovation in the adoption of new technologies and business models as well as the entry of new players into the market. The insights will be published and made available.

Market consolidation:

Services at local level are developed. The players in solar market for the Sfax pilot region (ANME, STEG, city and Sfax governorate, representatives of companies, banks, consumer associations etc.) collectively develop and implement an action plan in order to promote investment. The insights and knowledge acquired will be available to other regions and representatives of the national promotion policy.

    The scarcity of national natural resources along with the increase of energy demand leads Tunisia to initiate an energy transition process focusing on the increase of the share of renewable energies in the production of electricity in order to reach 12% by 2020 and 30% by 2030, in comparison to the current 3%. Indeed, the objective is to reach a renewable electric power of 3815 MW by 2030.
