In June 2023, the World Bank approved US$268.4 million in financing for the Tunisia-Italy interconnector (ELMED) project that will link energy grids between Tunisia and European markets,
solar PV and wind together accounting for nearly 70%. The integration of these variable energy sources into national energy grids will largely depend on storage technologies, and among them especially
This article explores how battery storage, pumped hydro, and innovative technologies can transform Tunisia''s power infrastructure while addressing challenges like solar intermittency and peak demand
Tunisia mostly relies on gas imports to meet its primary energy needs: almost 97% of its electricity generation came from gas in 2016. However, energy policy puts the emphasis on renewable energy.
Tunisia''s abundant solar and wind resources, as well as its proximity to Europe (which has an increased need for new and clean energy sources), make it a very attractive location for
On 5 and 6 February 2025, the MENALINKS programme officially launched its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) workstream in Tunisia. The kick-off brought together over 25 high

The Tunisia Advanced Energy Storage Systems Market is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, which require efficient energy storage
With solar irradiation levels hitting 5.3 kWh/m²/day and wind speeds reaching 9 m/s in coastal areas, this North African nation could power half the Mediterranean - if it can store that energy effectively.
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.
This article explores the latest developments in Tunisia"s battery storage projects, technological innovations, and how companies like EK SOLAR contribute to this dynamic market.
