Weโ€™ve secured the land for our 60MWp solar PV project in Tozeur. This site will support grid injection under the auto-production regime, with optional capacity for battery storage. The milestone follows over two years of coordination with public authorities unlocking one of Tunisiaโ€™s most ambitious clean energy developments.

Weโ€™re proud to announce that the land for our solar power project in Tozeur has now been officially secured. This site will host a 60 megawatt-peak (MWp) photovoltaic plant that is designed to inject clean electricity into Tunisiaโ€™s national grid under the auto-production regime. It also holds capacity for future off-grid power production through a dedicated battery energy storage system (BESS).

Land acquisition is one of the most challenging and often underestimated phases of utility-scale energy development. In Tunisia, this process is especially complex when it involves public land, requiring approvals across national, regional, and legal layers.

This milestone marks the end of over two years of structured collaboration with government stakeholders and legal experts to unlock a strategic energy investment zone in southern Tunisia.

This achievement wouldnโ€™t have been possible without the involvement of:

  • The Regional Directorate of State Domains and Land Affairs
  • The Governorate of Tozeur
  • Meziou & Elleuch Law Firm
  • Tunisia Investment Authority (TIA)

Their engagement and professionalism were key to aligning regulatory compliance with project readiness.

This project is more than a plantโ€”itโ€™s a demonstration of what effective publicโ€“private cooperation can achieve in Tunisiaโ€™s clean energy transition. It shows how the countryโ€™s evolving legal frameworks for auto-production can unlock real infrastructure at scale.

With land and substation capacity secured, our next steps include finalizing technical design and grid connection engineering, preparing for civil and mechanical works, and launching the EPC tender and selection process.
