Tunisian Electricity Production Sees 4% Increase
According to recent data from the National Observatory of Energy and Mines (ONEM), Tunisia's electricity production reached 11,631 GWh by the end of July 2025, marking a 4% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
Key Factors Contributing to the Increase
This growth reflects a dual energy strategy:
- Increased electricity imports: Notably from Algeria, which covered 11% of the country's needs, ensuring a continuous supply and flexibility in managing demand.
- Boost in domestic production: Intended for local consumption, with a 2% increase, confirming the robustness of Tunisia's production capacity.
Analysis of Production
The analysis of production reveals that:
- Natural gas remains the central pillar: Contributing 94% of the total production, a figure that highlights Tunisia's persistent dependence on this resource to secure its energy supply.
- Optimization of strategic imports and natural gas management: This increase in electricity production is accompanied by a particular focus on optimizing strategic imports and managing natural gas, illustrating Tunisia's proactive approach to responding to consumption peaks while stabilizing the national electricity grid.
Conclusion
The 4% increase in Tunisia's electricity production demonstrates the country's efforts to ensure a stable and efficient energy supply, leveraging both domestic production and strategic imports to meet growing demands.
