The purchase tariff is determined by the energy minister via decree. Recent changes in PV regulation • Due to law N°74/2013 the electricity generation market has been open since 18 th September 2014 for IPPs who can sell electricity either to the STEG (which still holds a monopoly on the transmission and distribution grid) or are able to export electricity subject to grid charges. *Exchange rate march 2014: 1 Euro = 2.179 TND 5
