PROSOL ELEC<br />

(net metering)<br />

Details<br />

• The fund for the energy transition (Fonds de transition énergétique (FTE)) was introduced in 2014 and replaces<br />

the “Fonds national de la maîtrise de l’énergie (FNME)”.<br />

• Its purpose is to encourage investors and private investors to invest in renewable energies and support industrial<br />

enterprises in Tunisia.<br />

• The seed capital of 100 m TND (~ 43.8 m €*) for the fund is paid by the Tunisian government.<br />

• According to the national action plan for the development of renewable energies in Tunisia, the PROSOL ELEC<br />

programme intends to reach a total photovoltaic capacity of 190 MW in 2020.<br />

• The allocated budget totals approximately 40 m TND, covering a period of four years (2012 to 2016).<br />

• It is exclusively intended for residential consumers connected to the low-voltage grid, seeking to lower their<br />

electricity costs through the installation of PV systems in order to cover their electricity needs.<br />

• The PROSOL ELEC financial mechanism consists first of all of a subsidy granted by the FNME/FTE, representing<br />

30 % of the investment costs, limited to 1,800 TND/kWp for a 1 kWp installation and to 1,450 TND/kWp for<br />

installations of 2 kWp capacity.<br />

• The Attijari Bank is the only Tunisian bank to have signed an agreement with the STEG for the development of a<br />

bank loan mechanism in form of a subsidised loan with an interest rate of 5.94 % over a period of seven years<br />

intended for 1 or 2 kWp PV installations.<br />

• The amount loaned is set according to the capacity of the installation:<br />

• 1 kWp installations: 3,500 TND<br />

• 2 kWp installations: 6,500 TND<br />

• Investors benefit from the value-added tax exemption for PV installation equipment.<br />

• PV installers have to be certified by Agence nationale pour la Maitrise de l’Energie (ANME), where the<br />

application for the subsidy can be filed after the installation has been completed.<br />

* Exchange rate March 2014: 1 Euro = 2.179 TND (Tunisian Dinar)<br />
