The consortium led by ENGIE and NAREVA has been declared preferred bidder for the construction of the Gafsa photovoltaic power plant, which was launched as an international tender by the Tunisian Ministry of Mines and Energy and Société Tunisienne de l’Electricité et du Gaz (STEG).
The consortium will be responsible for developing, designing, financing, building, operating and maintaining the 120 MWp Gafsa photovoltaic power plant over a period of 20 years from commissioning.
This major project is one of the first solar Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects in Tunisia and is part of the renewable energy sector’s development program which is aiming to achieve 30% of the country’s renewable energy production by 2030.
The Gafsa plant is expected to supply more than 100,000 Tunisian homes per year and helps avoiding 150,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
