Deficient liberalisation of the electricity market<br />
• The STEG, national electricity- and gas supplier, is the only<br />
system operator and dominates the energy supply system.<br />
It controls 82 % of the market.<br />
• There are two other power producers on the market, both<br />
independent, hence they have no free access to the grid:<br />
The Carthage Power Company“ (CPC) and CME Energy.<br />
• Generally power generation is only possible via a contract<br />
with the STEG.<br />

Political support for PV:<br />
• Tunisia still generates 93 % of its power from fossil sources,<br />
connected to a big lobby.<br />
• Competition with other energy sources. Wind energy plays<br />
a more important role than PV in Tunisia's solar plan.<br />
• To guarantee the security of supply, Tunisia is increasingly<br />
relying on coal-fired power.<br />
• There are some net metering programmes in place in<br />
connection with subsidies and low interest loans for<br />
customers of STEG, causing only s small market<br />
development.<br />
• PV power generation by IPPs is only possible through<br />
contracts with STEG. There is no market for electricity<br />
trade.<br />
