Tunisia — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 61 energy assets in Tunisia across 8 layers — the 78th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 33 power plants, 11 cement plants and 8 iron ore mines. Operating generation capacity is 5.6 GW, led by gas at 98%. Refining capacity is about 35 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Tunisian Company of Electricity and Gas (18), Djebel Djerissa Company (8) and Société Djebel Djerissa SA (6), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Tunisia's mapped assets in service predate 1998 (median commissioning year of the 30 with a known date), 4 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Tunis Cement Plant, dating from 1932. 26 projects are under construction or proposed, led by TuNur solar farm (4.5 GW).
