Tunisia’s huge renewable energy opportunity report
Tunisia has some of the best prospects for renewable energy in Africa. Its proximity to Europe also means that it will amongst the first countries to benefit from HVDC and – potentially – green hydrogen technology.
But President Kaïs Saïed’s poisonous scapegoating of alleged ‘profiteers’, and his inflationary and subsidy-dependent macro-economic policy make delivering projects much harder than it needs to be.
African Energy has been weighing the risks and opportunities that project developers and investors need to consider.

Green hydrogen (GH2) prospects in Africa are developing at breakneck speed. But the biggest questions remain unanswered.
Yes, Africa has the resources but can these highly capital intensive projects be made bankable while lenders demand heavy risk premiums on African projects?
Can commercial offtake agreements be put in place without penalising more expensive first movers?
And which projects will prevail? Competition is growing for sites with the best wind, solar irradiation, water supply, logistics and access to market.
If this is yet another scramble for Africa, will it bring sustainable development, unlike the 19th and 20th century quests for physical resources?
African Energy follows the debates and the developments that investors and developers need to consider.
