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 />
