PHOTOVOLTAIC <strong>MARKET</strong> INDICATORS<br />

Indicators<br />

Market size (yearly<br />

installed capacity)<br />

2012: 0 MW 2013e: 20 MW 2014e: 30 MW 2015e: 40 MW<br />

National PV goal 2030<br />

1,510 MW<br />

Market drivers 2014 • Rapidly increasing power demand (projection until2031: 31 TWh)<br />

• Tunisian Solar Plan (Plan solaire tunesien (PST)) see next slide<br />

• Net metering, self-supply<br />

• Guaranteed investment grants via the Fonds National de la Maîtrise de l’Energie (FNME), and respectively<br />

since the beginning of 2014 via the Fonds de Transition Energétique (FTE)<br />

• Low customs duties (15 %) as well as value-added tax exemptions for PV installation equipment<br />

PV support 2014 Net metering (cf. slide 7)<br />

• PROSOL-Elec: This program was introduced in 2010 to boost installations of residential PV (1 or 2 kWp) for<br />

customers of STEG (Société Tunisienne de l’Eléctricité et du Gaz).<br />

• Bâtiment Solaire: This program was introduced in January 2013 to enable net metering for smaller rooftop<br />

installations in the residential and industrial sector connected to the low voltage grid of STEG.<br />

• Self-supply (in low voltage grid): PV systems (no capacity limit) for self-supply in the industrial, service as<br />

well as agricultural sector are being subsidised (20 % of tangible investment costs) via FNME/FTE.<br />

• Self-supply (in medium or high voltage grid): PV plants are being subsidised as described above <strong>–</strong> but 30<br />

% of the annual surplus electricity production is being taken off and compensated for by the STEG. The<br />

purchase tariff is determined by the energy minister via decree.<br />

Recent changes in PV<br />

regulation<br />

• Due to law N°74/2013 the electricity generation market has been open since 18 th September 2014 for IPPs who<br />

can sell electricity either to the STEG (which still holds a monopoly on the transmission and distribution grid)<br />

or are able to export electricity subject to grid charges.<br />
