The Tunisian Solar Plan is in line with similar international projects, in particular, the Mediterranean Solar Plan.
It reflects Tunisia’s ambition to become an international hub in the field of industrial and energy production and exportation in the Solar Energy. (TuNur and Desertecprojects).
The Tunisian Solar plan is based on 40 projects with a total cost of 2 billion Euros (1.5 billion from private sector).
Tunisia wants to achieve 1000MW in 2016.

The energy strategy of Algeria rests(bases) on the acceleration of the development of the solar energy.
The government plans the launch of several photovoltaic solar projects of a total capacity about 800 MWc before 2020.
Other projects of a capacity of 200 MWc a year should be realized over the period 2021-2030.
Algeria is the African country which has the biggest budget dedicated to the solar energy.

The Moroccan Project of the Solar energy aims at the implementation in 2020 of an electric production capacity from the solar energy of a total capacity of 2 000 MW on five sites.
Both technologies - Concentrated Solar Power ( CSP) and Photovoltaic- are envisaged for these various stations.
This program will increase the part of the solar energy in the total electric capacity in 14 % on the horizon 2020,
Will avoid the emission of 3,7 million tons of CO ² a year.

Libya has the financial resources to become a world-leader in the solar power.
Libya’s energy usage in 2007 was approximately 26 GW,
If the energetic transition happens Libya could be the world’s leading clean economy in 20 years.

Currently, the Egyptian production capacity of energy resources is 23 000 MW.
The Egyptian government plans to increase it to 58 000MW by 2028.
While approximately 3 000MW are planned to come from solar energy.

The current national access to electricity supply is about 43% of the population. Hydropower and imported fossil fuel are the main energy sources used to generate electricity in the country.Four sites in the environs of Kaleo (near WA), Lawra, Jirapaand Navrongo have been identified and acquired for a total of 10MWp PV plants.Contract has already been awarded for the construction of 2 MWp at Navrongo which is expected to be completed by the end of 2012. VRA is seeking concessionary funding to develop the remaining 8 MWp.There is also the potential for electricity generation from renewable energy sources (e.g. solar, wind, biomass and small hydro) but have not yet been exploited to any significant degree for electricity generation.There are over 4,000 off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems installed nationwide as at 2001 with a total capacity is about 1 MW.

Once the current political situation stabilizes, Mali can also begin project preparations for a solar photovoltaic power plant to be developed and executed by an independent power producer (IPP),Two of the largest off-grid PV plants in Africa started operation in Mali Solar. Since August, both hybrid systems with a combined output of 200 kWp have been supplying solar power to more than 850 households Mali can also start preparing a technical assistance project designed to build capacity, strengthen the systems for monitoring and evaluation, and further develop knowledge management and project management skills critical to the long term transformation of its renewable energy sectorThe goal is to increase the part of the ENR in the national production of electricity from less than 1 % in 2004 to 6 % in 2010 and 10 % in 2015.

Senegal enjoys a particular favorable insulation rate (an average of 3000 hours per year). This means a return on investment in less than 7 years for solar photovoltaic system.
Senegal is still around 0.6% electricity production by renewable energies, while the target for 2015 is 15%. Solar program plans to install 200 MW of Pv power plants by 2029.

Saudi Arabia has noticed it has 20 centuries of solar reserves and has made plans to tap them for its own use.
The Kingdom has just announced a $109 billion plan to create a solar industry that generates a third of the nation’s electricity by 2032.
King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KACARE) announced a budget of 109 billion$ and plans to have 41 GW of solar capacity within 2 decades.

2.10. Jordan
Useful links:
© 2012 -www.northsun.co
Jordan’s energy strategy calls for renewable energy to account for 7% of the kingdom’s energy mix by 2015, and 10% by 2020; namely 1,200MW from wind power and 600MW from solar energy.
Most alarming is that the oil fuel reserves at the Central Electricity Generating Company (CEGCO) are enough to last for just five days.
Strategically, electricity reserves should suffice for at least one month and not a few days- which brings us back to Jordan’s energy vulnerability and its immediate need for alternative energy resources.
