摘要

Tunisia is recovering from the Arab Spring, resulting in strong growth in electricity demand (5% per year on average for annual electricity consumption, 11% for peak demand). However little new power generating capacity has been commissioned in the last 4 years, and risk of shortages are now looming.This strong growth in electricity demand is translating into additional reliance on imports and on hydrocarbons. The Tunisian energy system is extremely dependent on hydrocarbons, with oil and gas meeting 99% of energy demand (45% for oil, 55% for natural gas). Power generation is nearly entirely based on natural gas (98%), with renewable energy (RE) having only a very small contribution. This heavy reliance on oil and gas developed at a time when sizeable reserves were discovered in Tunisia and production was sufficient to meet national needs. However, discoveries have not kept up with growing demand and Tunisia became a net energy importer in 2000. Net imports now amount to 3.5 mtoe, or 38% of primary energy demand. Current gas supply sources (national production and Algerian gas, either through transit royalties of contracts) will not be sufficient to cover demand beyond 2020 at best.Diversifying the energy mix and energy supply sources has always been a priority in Tunisia, but with little tangible results so far. Reducing energy demand growth is also a priority, and Tunisia is a pioneer in the developing world in developing and implementing ambitious energy efficiency policies . However, this has not been sufficient to prevent a growing import dependency. In 2013, Tunisia launched a national debate on the energy transition. The key elements of the energy strategy are:1.Development of national energy resources and infrastructure2.Reinforcement of energy efficiency programmes3.Diversification of the energy mix through RE development4.Development/reinforcement of interconnections with Maghreb countries and Europe5.Reorganisation and institutional reforms6.Reinforcement of cooperation with Maghreb and other countries7.Better governance of energy strategy and decisions, and launch of national energy debate on transition.Moreover, Tunisia has included climate change in its new constitution approved in January 2014, being only the third country in the world to embed the importance of addressing climate change into its constitution. The National Climate Change Strategy, formulated in 2012, is now being translated into long-term development plans. A renewable energy law opening the energy sector to private investment to boost RE development has been adopted in September of the same year. However, it will take time to develop the country’s vast RE potential, and in the meantime the fastest way to meet Tunisia’s growing energy needs might be through reinforcement of interconnections, and in particular the accelerated development of the Tunisia-Italy interconnector. Whether short-term or long-term, Tunisia will not succeed its transition to a secure and low carbon energy system without the cooperation of its Mediterranean neighbours, be it from the North or from the South shore. Tunisia could draw huge benefits from the creation of an integrated Euro-Med market given the country is ideally positioned to become a Med energy hub.
