Solar Power Initiative Could Make Tunisia Power Source for Europe

Feb 8, 2012

TUNISIALIVE - February 8 2012. By Bernard Yaros

If Europe decides to turn away from nuclear and other sources of energy, as current trends tend to indicate, where will the continent look to power its future? Some say: Tunisia.

TuNur, a joint-venture company between NurEnergie, a solar power plant developer based in England, and a collection of Tunisian investors, has seized upon the unmet export market of solar energy from Tunisia to Europe. It establishes the first solar export scheme between Tunisia and Europe.

Imperial College of London and DNV Kema study finds that TuNur's CSP plant bring benefits to the European Grid

Nov 13, 2012

The “EU Grid Integration of Tunisia-Based Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plant” study, conducted by TuNur with Imperial College of London and DNV KEMA Energy & Sustainability investigates the impacts of integrating 2GW of electricity generating capacity from TuNur’s CSP power plant in Tunisia into the European electricity system via an HVDC link from Tunisia to Central Italy. The study shows that solar imports from North Africa technically feasible and brings several grid integration benefits to the European electricity system.

Le projet d'exportation d'énergie solaire depuis la Tunisie

Fiche résumé (en anglais)

Tunisie

En Tunisie, Nur Energie développe la première centrale CSP du monde avec exportation entre l'Afrique du Nord et en Europe.

Nur Energie est présent en Tunisie depuis 2008 en collaboration avec des partenaires et des investisseurs Tunisiens et Maltais pour contribuer à l’essor de l'industrie solaire dans la région.

TuNur Projet

Le projet TuNur se compose d’une centrale solaire CSP d’une puissance de 2,250MW dans le désert du Sahara et d’une liaison sous-marine HVDC de 2 GW entre la Tunisie et l'Italie. A la mise en service de la centrale, elle générera 9,400GWh/an d'énergie 100% renouvelable et dispatchable. L’énergie est ensuite transportée sous la mer Méditerranée jusqu’à un point d’injection en Italie centrale, où l'électricité sera transmise à d'autres pays européens comme l'Allemagne, la Suisse, la France et le Royaume-Uni.

TuNur est un projet intercontinental ayant pour but de combler la demande d'énergie renouvelable des pays européens, tout en contribuant au développement de l'énergie solaire en Tunisie et en Afrique du Nord. En Tunisie, le projet contribuera au développement industriel, à l’amélioration de la sécurité énergétique, l’accroissement de l’expertise et de l'industrie CSP dans la région. En Europe TuNur peut offrir de nombreux avantages en permettant aux gouvernements de remplir leurs objectifs d'énergie renouvelable en augmentant la production d'énergie renouvelable et réduisant les émissions de dioxyde de carbone à l'aide d'une source fiable d'énergie renouvelable.

Le site est situé dans le désert du Sahara et offre un niveau de rayonnement solaire de 2500 kWh / m² / an. Pendant 3 ans, Nur a installé et exploité une station de mesures solaires sur le site de TuNur afin de récupérer des données solaires en temps réel. La Tunisie possède un rayonnement 20% supérieur aux meilleurs sites d’Europe et le désert du Sahara offre un espace important pour développer des projets d'énergie solaire à grande échelle.

TuNur- Comment ça marche?

TuNur comme projet REGRT-E plan de développement décennal

En Novembre 2015, le Réseau Européen de la gestion de réseau de transport d’électricité (« REGRT-E ») a confirmé que la demande de TuNur pour le plan de développement décennal 2016 a été approuvée et le projet est inclus avec succès dans la liste des projets sélectionnés. Les projets qui sont inclus dans la liste finale seront qualifiés pour soumission à une candidature pour projet d'intérêt commun 2017 afin d’acquérir une réglementation et une aide financière de l’UE.
