Tunisia Poised for a Qualitative Leap in Energy Transition

Energy expert Nizar Yaïche has emphasized that Tunisia has all the necessary assets to achieve a qualitative leap in the field of energy transition. He highlighted that current data, whether it's technological advancements or the decrease in production and storage costs of energy, necessitate a comprehensive review of the current national strategy.

Harnessing Tunisia's Solar Potential for Export

Yaïche explained that the vast solar potential of the Tunisian Sahara allows for the production of massive amounts of electricity. This production could not only meet national needs but also be exported to European markets. According to him, this orientation would strengthen the country's energy sovereignty and contribute to reducing the trade deficit.

A National Integrated Project

The expert estimated that this project should not be viewed solely from a technical angle but rather as a national integrated project capable of creating employment opportunities, supporting economic growth, and opening up new horizons for investment, particularly in the clean energy sectors.

Need for Legislative Reforms

Yaïche also emphasized the urgency of modernizing the legal framework to adapt to global mutations and accelerate the decision-making process. He warned against the cost of delay, which could deprive the country of major strategic opportunities.

A Historic Opportunity for Tunisia

Yaïche concluded by stating that Tunisia is facing a historic opportunity that requires a clear vision and strong political will to transform this potential into concrete reality.
