Eni’s subsidiary, Eni Tunisia BV, inaugurated a new photovoltaic plant in partnership with the national company, Entreprise Tunisienne d’Activités Pétrolières (ETAP). The plant is in the Adam concession in the south of Tataouine Governorship, where Eni is the operator. The installation, built near the production plant, will produce solar energy using an off grid operational configuration.

Energy produced by the Adam photovoltaic plant, which has a maximum capacity of 5 MW, will be used directly from the industrial site, reducing gas consumption and saving over 6,500 tons of CO2 emissions per year. The plant, which was built under the cooperation agreement with ETAP to develop renewable energy generation projects in Tunisia, also includes a 2.2 MWp/1.5 MWh storage battery system that will facilitate integration with existing gas turbines, ensuring optimization of operating costs. This hybrid generation system, which combines gas, photovoltaic and storage, is one of the most important and innovative in the world.
