This Extractivism Policy Brief 07/2024 shows:
- With the economic and ecological crisis that Tunisia is experiencing, an energy transition is needed to benefit from the potential of renewable energies.
- Since the 1980s, an institutional framework has been in place to encourage the implementation of Tunisia’s solar plan.
- Several players are involved in the governance of the renewable energy sector, although the sector suffers from a lack of good governance mechanisms.
- Given the focus on exporting green energy to Europe, the energy transition is perceived in an extractivist logic that does not benefit Tunisia’s energy security.
