Authorisation Regime
A strategic mechanism
A state-backed framework
The Authorisation Regime is today one of the most strategic mechanisms introduced by the Tunisian State to accelerate the energy transition and stimulate private investment in renewable energy.
The scope
Power plants from 1 to 10 MW
It mainly targets medium-capacity photovoltaic generation projects, between 1 and 10 MW, forming an intermediate market between small self-consumption installations and large state-led projects.
How it works
Design, finance, operate
This framework gives investors, whether industrial companies, energy developers or investment funds, the ability to design, finance, build and operate a solar power plant within a clear and secure regulatory framework.
Design
Finance
Build
Operate
All the electricity produced is injected into the national grid and sold to STEG under a long-term purchase agreement, generally set at 20 years.
In brief
A twofold advantage
This model offers a twofold advantage: it secures the investor while serving a national objective.
Stable revenues
It guarantees revenue stability for the investor.
A diversified mix
It helps diversify the national energy mix and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Key opportunities
What the regime brings to your investment
Long-term revenue security
The guarantee of a single buyer, STEG, which purchases the entire output over roughly 20 years. This visibility sharply reduces commercial risk.
A stable, bankable financial asset
Predictable cash flow eases access to bank financing and attracts sustainable infrastructure funds.
A lever for CSR value and brand image
By investing in solar, companies reduce their emissions and strengthen their image with partners and clients.
Contribution to national energy sovereignty
By encouraging local generation, Tunisia reduces its dependence on imports and becomes more resilient to international prices.
