Strategic analysis mission on agrivoltaic applications in Tunisia

The Tunisian Energy Transition Acceleration (TETA) project aims to improve strategic, regulatory, administrative, and technical situation to accelerate the implementation of the national energy transition strategy objectives.

Agrivoltaics (AgriPV) is considered as an innovative technology that offers optimal synergy between energy production and agricultural activity. Its key principle is to use the same plot of land for both solar energy generation and farming, ensuring that agriculture remains the primary activity. In arid climates, it can provide several benefits for crops, such as shading, reduced evapotranspiration, and improved rainwater harvesting.

• Benchmarking the agrivoltaic mechanisms (France, Italy, and Spain)
• Analysis of the regulatory framework for Tunisia’s agricultural and energy sectors
• Study of the potential of agrivoltaics at the national level
• Proposal of a national roadmap for the promotion of agrivoltaics
• Proposal for a call-for-projects specifications document for pilot experimental projects in different climatic contexts in Tunisia
