Tunisian Engineers Visit the United States to Enhance Smart Grid Technology
In November 2025, a team of Tunisian engineers from the STEG (Société Tunisienne de l'Électricité et du Gaz) traveled to Pullman, Washington, in the United States, to observe how American technology can contribute to improving smart grid networks.
According to a statement released on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, by the US Embassy in Tunisia, this visit was organized as part of the US-funded Smart Grid project, which supports the promotion of equipment capable of detecting and preventing power outages while protecting the network. The participants had the opportunity to study the technological solutions applied on the ground and the methods of intelligent electricity management.
The Tunisian engineers highlighted the interest of these technologies in strengthening the reliability and security of the Tunisian power grid. The initiative illustrates international cooperation in the field of electricity and the importance of exchanging expertise to modernize the national network.
