Tunisia’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, with over 95% of electricity generated from natural gas as of 2023–2024. The country faces an energy deficit, importing nearly 48% of its total energy needs, primarily from Algeria. While renewables (solar/wind) are growing, they represent a small fraction of the current mix, despite high potential.

Tunisia is positioning itself as a central hub for the Mediterranean’s green hydrogen economy, with a national strategy aiming to produce 8.3 million tons of green hydrogen and its derivatives annually by 2050. The country plans to export approximately 6 million tons of this production to Europe, leveraging its high solar and wind potential.
