Tunisia: Tunis calls for wind and solar proposals

Minister of energy, mines and renewable energy Hela Cheikhrouhou has launched the first phase of a three-phase independent power producer programme for renewables. Companies have been invited to submit proposals for wind and solar projects amounting to a maximum of 210MW capacity by November this year and August next year. Subsequent phases will involve concessions for larger plants, which will be awarded by competitive tender, and the licensing of pure private sector schemes.
