This study investigates the feasibility of a breakeven hybrid energy system (PV–Wind–Diesel) for electricity generation in the northernmost city in Africa, city of Bizerte in Tunisia. It was found that this location is endowed by an important wind resource for exploiting the power of electrical energy generation.
The novelty of this paper is the comparison of LCOE optimized CSP-PV hybrid plants with thermal energy storage for Jordan, Algeria and Tunisia which lead to unique results due to the specific local boundary conditions,
A solar/biomass hybrid power plant renewable electricity system has been analyzed. • LCA and IO have been applied to assess environmental and socioeconomic impacts. • CSP in Tunisia could be part of the solution to energy demand and Climate Change. • Calculated total GHG emissions range from 22 (LCA) to 77 gCO 2 eq/kWh (IO). •
The novelty of this paper is the comparison of LCOE optimized CSP-PV hybrid plants with thermal energy storage for Jordan, Algeria and Tunisia which lead to unique results due to the specific local boundary conditions, especially
In a study conducted by Khan et al. (Citation 2020), a techno-economic analysis of grid-connected renewable energy systems using biogas and solar PV-biogas generators was carried out for Meknassy, a town in Tunisia.
The new contributions in this paper are, first, an analysis of the energy and environmental performance of two commercial-scale high peak-power hybrid photovoltaic irrigation systems (HPVIS
Photovoltaic (PV) self-powered technologies are promising technologies for addressing applications'' power supply challenges and alleviating conventional electricity load
TUNol is a project of the SUNol consortium in Tunisia and aims to use the solar energy of the Sahara to produce the sought-after raw material methanol. In order to convert the solar energy into electricity, the TUNol project will build an Integrated CSP-PV Hybrid Power Plant (ICPH) at a selected site, which will generate renewable electricity

Photovoltaic (PV) self-powered technologies are promising technologies for addressing applications'' power supply challenges and alleviating conventional electricity load and environmental pollution. This study reviews solar energy harvesting (SEH) technologies for PV self-powered applications.
According to the Energy General Direction of the Tunisian Ministry of Energy and Mines, 650 MW will come from solar photovoltaic, while the residual 350 MW will be supplied by wind energy. Under new plans, Tunisia has dedicated itself to generating 30 per cent of its electrical energy from renewable energy sources in 2030.
In a study conducted by Khan et al. (Citation 2020), a techno-economic analysis of grid-connected renewable energy systems using biogas and solar PV-biogas generators was carried out for Meknassy, a town in Tunisia. The HES combining solar PV and biogas emerged as the most cost-effective option, with an LCOE of approximately €0.077/kWh.
The first large scale solar power plant of a 10MW capacity, co-financed by KfW and NIF (Neighbourhood Investment Facility) and implemented by STEG, is in Tozeur. TuNur CSP project is Tunisia’s most ambitious renewable energy project yet.
Tunisian Solar Programme, launched in 2005, is a joint initiative of UNEP, Tunisian National Agency for Energy Conservation, state-utility STEG and Italian Ministry for Environment, Land and Sea. The program aims to promote the development of the solar energy sector through financial and fiscal support.
Since 2008, wind energy is leading the energy transition of Tunisia with a growth of the production up to 245 MW of power installed in 2016. Two main wind farms have been developed until now: Sidi-Daoud and Bizerte. The first wind power project of Tunisia started in 2000, with the installation of the Sidi-Daoud’s wind farm in the gulf of Tunis.

The total investment required to implement the Tunisian Solar Program plan have been estimated at $2.5 billion, including $175 million from the National Fund, $530 million from the public sector, $1,660 million from private sector funds, and $24 million from international cooperation.
The Organic waste treatment using biogas technology is in line with the Tunisian government’s energy transition strategy, with 100 MW of biogas power planned to be installed by 2030 (GIZ. 2018) under the Paris Agreement commitment.
