Tataouine: our photovoltaic plant in Tunisia

On December 2022, the plant started production and will supply more than 20 GWh of energy per year to the national grid.

Photovoltaic energy for the country

The photovoltaic power plant in Tataouine, located in the south of the country, started production on December 2022. It will have a maximum installed capacity of 10 MW and will supply more than 20 GWh per year of energy to the national grid, with total CO2eq savings of around 211,000 tonnes over the planned 20 years of operation. The project, of which we are 50% operators, provides for the transfer of produced energy to the national company Société Tunisienne de l'Electricité et du Gaz (STEG) on the basis of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement. The operated plant was build by a joint venture between Eni and the Entreprise Tunisienne d'Activités Pétrolières (ETAP) State Company dedicated exclusively to the production of energy from renewable sources.
