6. New Business

Solar EnergyThe Tunisian solar plan provides for the implementation

of 40 PPP projects for the period 2010-2016.

The private sector will carry out 29 projects, while 5 others

projects will be entrusted to the public sector, including

STEG (Tunisian Electricity and Gas Board).

The full implementation of all these projects is expected

to help save a quantity of energy assessed to nearly 660

ktoe / year, i.e. a total reduction of 22% of our national

energy consumption by 2016.

Aeronautics46 companies, out of which 31 units operate exclusively for the aerospace industry, while the remaining

15 operate partially for this industrial sector.

These companies operate in the sectors of plastic, mechanics, electronics and maintenance.

Activities developed in this sector :

Electronic parts, cable bundles, foundries and machining, sheet metal, assembly of aircraft, plastic

parts, surface treatment, software development and maintenance and other aerospace services.

Wind EnergySeveral projects were implemented in terms of wind

energy :

• El Haouaria project was achieved in 2000 with a total

capacity of 10MW.

• Once achieved, the Bizerte project, which is still

underway, will reach a total capacity of 120MW.

After the completion of this project, Tunisia will be able

to generate a total wind-energy capacity of 175MW in

2011. This will enable Tunisia to rank 3rd, in Africa, and

35th, worldwide, in terms of wind-energy generation.

and throughout the 35th World Wind in the connection.
