Taqet Gabes is a 10 MW solar PV project delivering power to the Tunisian network
Overview
In 2019 Tunisia launched the 3rd Round of the Authorization Regime, requesting proposals to build a total of 70MW of solar projects (6 x 10MW, and 10 x 1MW) on a B.O.O. basis. In May 2020 TuNur was successfully awarded one of the 10MW projects with one of the lowest tariffs.
The project consists of a 10MW solar photovoltaic Power Plant located on a 20 hc site in Gabes capable of producing over 24 GWh per year of carbon free power. The power plant will be connected to the STEG HV network via a 4.5 km AC overhead line,
The project is part of Tunisia’s Energy Transition and will help meet the growing electricity demand in Tunisia. Once operational it will deliver all power to STEG, to help supply over 10,000 Tunisian homes and save over 10,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
Some of the key benefits of the project are:
Domestic Project
Supporting Tunisia's Energy Transition
Transmission
<4.5 km AC overhead line to STEG’s HV Network
