Tunisia has selected several independent power producers for the implementation of a solar project to produce 70 MWp of electricity from 16 photovoltaic solar power plants. The results of the call for tenders for the development of a solar project have just been published by the government in Tunisia. The objective of this project is to inject 70 MWp into the Tunisian national electricity grid through the construction of 16 new solar power plants in the country. At least six solar power plants with a capacity of 10 MWp each will be built, as well as 10 installations of 1 MWp. The project is part of a broad plan by the Tunisian government to exploit its renewable energy potential. The government of this North African country has thus decided to build a large solar power plant in the governorate of Gafsa. With an expected capacity of 120 MWp, the project is being developed by a consortium formed by the French company Engie and the Moroccan company Nareva.
