Tunisia has embarked on a significant transformation in its energy sector. It launched the initial phase of its Smart Grid project, signaling a critical shift in the nation’s energy strategy. Under the leadership of the Minister of Industry, Mines, and Energy, this development reflects a decisive step towards modernizing energy infrastructure to align with national optimization goals.

The Ministry’s official announcement emphasized that this strategic endeavor is foundational to the modernization effort, targeting long-term resource optimization. Key insights and visuals from the ceremony, alongside early installations of smart meters, were shared, highlighting the national commitment to this energy evolution.

Ambitious Objectives Supported by International Partners

Funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) with a substantial investment of 120 million euros—equivalent to around 400 million Tunisian dinars—this extensive project aims to revolutionize Tunisia’s energy landscape. The rollout of the system involves a consortium of technological frontrunners, including Siemens, E.Fluid, and Sagemcom, ensuring comprehensive national coverage.

Tangible Benefits for Tunisian Households

With 140,000 low-tension smart meters being installed, Tunisian consumers stand to gain several significant advantages. Real-time monitoring of electricity usage enables households to adapt their energy consumption habits, optimize usage during off-peak periods, and achieve considerable savings on monthly bills. This transparency ushers in a new era of consumer empowerment in energy management.

Tunisia’s industrial heavyweights are set to benefit from the deployment of 25,000 medium-tension meters, enabling precise energy supply management. This advancement promises improved predictability, allowing for cost operational optimization and enhanced competitive positioning in the global market.

Modernization for the STEG

For the Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company (STEG), the Smart Grid project is an unparalleled opportunity for modernization. The comprehensive digitalization of the grid facilitates immediate fault detection, significantly reducing repair times. Traditional technical losses in electricity transportation and distribution, typically ranging from 10 to 15%, are expected to decrease substantially, driving considerable savings for this national operator.

The system’s ability to seamlessly integrate renewable energy sources marks another crucial benefit. Efficient management of fluctuations in solar and wind energy production supports the expansion of clean energy in Tunisia’s energy mix, aligning with national ecological transition objectives.

Addressing Challenges in Smart Grid Implementation

Despite the promising outlook, implementing the Smart Grid is not without its challenges. Consumer data protection has emerged as a priority, necessitating robust cybersecurity protocols. The initial implementation cost remains substantial, even with international financial support. Furthermore, training STEG’s technical personnel on new technologies represents a significant, though necessary, human capital investment to ensure the project’s enduring success.
