Sources: ANME (2013), BSW-Solar (2014) OVERVIEW OF PV SUPPORT SCHEMES (2/4) Category Bâtiment Solaire (net metering) Details • As in the PROSOL ELEC programme, under the “Bâtiment Solaire” programme 30 % of the investment costs of new PV rooftop installations are being subsidised through the FNME/FTE. • Since June 2012 the maximum amount that can be received per building is limited to 15,000 TND. • Since 1 st January 2013, the subsidy is furthermore limited depending on the plant’s capacity: • PV installations with 1 kWp: 1,800 TND • PV installations with ≥ 2kWp : 1,450 TND/kWp • Unlike the PROSOL ELEC programme, investors under the “Bâtiment Solaire“ programme cannot obtain low interest loans of the Attijari Bank. • The installed capacity of the PV installation usually corresponds to the connected demand capacity set for a building with the STEG. • In addition, investors benefit from the value-added tax exemption for PV installation equipment. • PV installers have to be certified by ANME, where the application for the subsidy can be filed after the installation has been completed. As in the PROSOL ELEC programme, the PV installer receives the subsidy from the FNME/FTE directly via the ANME. * Exchange rate March 2014: 1 Euro = 2.179 TND (Tunisian Dinar) 8
Source: BSW-Solar (2014) OVERVIEW OF PV SUPPORT SCHEMES (3/4) Category Self-supply in low, medium and high voltage grid of the STEG (net metering) Details • Electricity customers of the STEG as industrial customers, commercial customers or agricultural businesses with a valid entry in the commercial register and connected to the low-voltage grid are being subsidised through the FNME/FTE totalling 20% of the investment costs for PV investments without a installation capacity limit. • The maximum amount of the subsidy is set according to the energy demand (global) of the customer: • < 4 ktoe: 100,000 TND • 4 < 7 ktoe: 200,000 TND • > 7 ktoe: 250,000 TND • The installed capacity of the PV installation usually corresponds to the connected demand capacity set for the customer with the STEG. • PV installers have to be certified by ANME, where the application for the subsidy can be filed after the installation has been completed. The PV installer receives the subsidy from the FNME/FTE directly via the ANME, if the customer’s valid entry in the commercial register is also handed in. • Electricity customers of the STEG (industrial, service- and agricultural sector) with an entry in the commercial register and connected to a medium or high-voltage grid are also being subsidised through the FNME/FTE as shown above. • In this case, legislation allows the PV electricity producer to sell up to 30 % of its annually generated electricity (in surplus) exclusively to the STEG. For operation of the PV plant, it is mandatory to set up a subsidiary company. The purchase tariff of the STEG is determined by the energy minister via decree. At the moment, it is equal to the electricity tariff. * Exchange rate March 2014: 1 Euro = 2.179 TND (Tunisian Dinar); ktoe = a thousand tons of oil equivelant 9
