Germany and Tunisia work together to enhance their strategic and technical collaboration in the energy sector. The cooperation includes various fields, such as securing energy supply, supporting renewable energies, improving energy efficiency and grid development. Together, the partners are transforming their energy systems and opening up important new fields of business.
We support high-level political dialogue, encourage civil society activities, facilitate fertile business environments, enhance exchange of best practices and and convey the idea of energy transition.
Facts & Figures
Sunshine Hours per Year
Global demand for energy is steadily rising and requires new sources of energy production. Thanks to the continuous improvement of technologies, renewable energies become a progressively reliable alternative. However, most renewable energy sources depend on geographic conditions.
In this context, Tunisia can benefit from an impressive number of sunshine hours per year, much more than Germany.

CO2 Emission Reduction Target 2030
A sustainable energy transition consists not only in the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, but also demands a reduction of CO2 emissions. Germany as well as Tunisia set themselves ambitious targets for reducing their emission until 2030.

The German-Tunisian Energy Partnership can actively help to achieve our targets of reaching 30% renewables in the energy mix by 2030, as well as reducing the energy consumption by 30%.
Milestones
The German-Tunisian energy partnership was established in 2012. The technical collaboration is organized along thematically organized task forces in which representatives of the government of both countries take part. Those experts treat a large spectrum of energy subjects.
Furthermore, the partnership disposes of a permanent German-Tunisian Secretariat in Tunis.
We want to accompany Tunisia on its way to accomplish a sustainable energy system. One of the key factors therefore is a stable and efficient legal framework to promote renewable energies.
