Significance
Once finished, the projects will make up 6% of Tunisia’s electricity generation capacity. Although new projects promise increased renewable energy development, a combination of political and economic uncertainty, combined with cumbersome investment requirements, mean foreign investor interest remains limited.

The lack of a foreign investment track record in electricity suggests only small projects are likely to proceed in coming years.
