It is a five-year program designed to assist Tunisian manufacturers, building managers, project developers, system installers, and the banking community in financing and adopting clean energy technologies and solutions to harness the country’s solar and wind potential.
Power Tunisia will help strengthen the performance of the Tunisian energy sector, diversify and secure energy supply, and promote pilot projects and advanced technology partnerships. Its ultimate goal is to reduce CO2 emissions through the installation of new renewable energy production capacity or the adoption of energy efficiency solutions in company facilities.
Through its efforts, Power Tunisia aims to support nearly 2,000 Tunisian businesses and mobilize $40 million for clean energy investments in Tunisia, focusing on promoting renewable energy projects, stimulating innovation, and accelerating the transition to clean and environmentally friendly energy sources. The program also aims to increase the country’s clean energy production capacity by 70 megawatts, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels and creating new green jobs.
In his speech, Ambassador Hood emphasized the transformative power of renewable energy and energy efficiency in Tunisia’s transition to a green and sustainable economy, making Tunisian businesses more competitive and profitable. He also highlighted the essential role of renewable energy and energy efficiency in reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels and promoting environmentally friendly practices.
Ambassador Hood stressed the importance of energy efficiency, urging manufacturers and building managers to adopt responsible and innovative approaches to maximize efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.
Mr. Craig VanDevelde, Power Tunisia Project Manager, also took the floor to emphasize the essential role of NGOs, financial institutions, experts, associations, international donors, and development banks in addressing Tunisia’s energy and environmental challenges. Mr. VanDevelde highlighted the program’s commitment to fostering strong partnerships and leveraging collective efforts to generate sustainable change in Tunisia’s energy sector.
At the end of the seminar, hotels, commercial businesses, and industries were invited to submit their requests for assistance in developing renewable energy projects through the dedicated portal of the USAID Power Tunisia program.
