Tunisia solar project: Impressive 60 MW Power Boost

Renewable energy developer Scatec ASA, in partnership with Aeolus SAS, has officially achieved the Commercial Operations Date (COD) for their new 60-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in Tozeur, Tunisia. This achievement marks a significant advancement in the nation’s push towards a sustainable energy future and represents Scatec’s first fully developed project to go online in the country.

The Tozeur solar plant is a cornerstone project for Tunisia, injecting substantial clean energy capacity into the national grid. By harnessing the region’s abundant solar resources, the 60 MW facility will play a vital role in helping Tunisia diversify its energy portfolio and reduce its reliance on traditional power sources. The successful commissioning of this plant demonstrates the viability and strategic importance of utility-scale solar power in North Africa.

This milestone reinforces Scatec’s growing footprint across the African continent as a leading independent power producer. The collaboration with Aeolus on the Tozeur project showcases a successful partnership model for developing critical renewable infrastructure. As the plant begins its operational life, it stands as a powerful symbol of Tunisia’s commitment to embracing clean technology and advancing its national green energy objectives.
