Tunisian national utility Société tunisienne de l’électricité et du gaz (STEG) has launched a tender for the construction of a 50 MW solar PV plant linked with 10 MW/20 MWh of battery storage capacity.

The selected developers will have to build the facility and the associated high-voltage grid infrastructure and transmission lines.

The project will be located in Tataouine, in southern Tunisia.

The deadline to submit project proposals is December 10.

In March, Tunisia’s Ministry of Energy and Mines also launched a tender for the construction of a 300 MW solar farm and a 150MW/540MWh of battery storage system.

The Africa Solar Industry Association’s (AFSIA) project database states Tunisia has 728.8 MW of operational solar capacity. With Amea Power’s plant now online, the country will be moving closer towards the 1 GW benchmark.

In March, the Tunisian government granted licenses for four new utility-scale projects with a combined capacity of 500 MW. The projects were selected under a 1.7 GW renewable energy tender.
