4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Tunis city load shifting - ID Solar Energy Systems”
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.
Can Steg meet peak summer electricity demand in Tunisia?
STEG is hard-pressed to meet peak summer electricity demand, let alone keep up with Tunisia's annual 5% growth in power consumption. Approximately 97% of Tunisia's electricity is generated from fossil fuels, mainly natural gas. Through June 2023, nearly 47% of Tunisia's natural gas needs were met through imports (mainly from Algeria).
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.
Why is Tunisia prone to brownouts?
As a result of delays in power plant construction, the power sector does not possess excess generation capacity and is susceptible to brownouts. STEG is hard-pressed to meet peak summer electricity demand, let alone keep up with Tunisia's annual 5% growth in power consumption.
