Electricity production (see below) consumes more than 73% of the national demand for natural gas. In March 2015, nearly 92% of Tunisian electricity was generated from natural gas (90% in 2005), the rest coming from other fuels: fuel oil and diesel (5% of total production), hydraulic turbines (0.4%) or wind energy (2.5%). Annual electricity production is shown in Table 4.8. The installed capacity is 5,200 MW, of which about 9% (471 MW) is owned by private producers (IPPs, see below). Demand is growing by 3.4% per year (average for 2010 2015). Renewable energy capacity is currently 295 MW (generated by STEG).

The Tunisian Solar Plan (PST) is an expression of the ambition to turn Tunisia into an export hub for clean electricity. Since October 2009, it has covered all the areas of energy efficiency in transport, building and energy intensive industries, as well as renewables (solar, wind, biomass). The plan envisages a generating capacity of 3.8 GW from renewables by 2030. In practical terms, the energy savings made during the period 2005 2010 reached 1.4 Mtoe in 2010, or 20% of the primary energy demand for 2004. [46]

Moreover, the system for the prior authorization of investment by the CSI (Higher Investment Commission) (Section 2.5.2) constitutes an additional barrier to investment in industry, but appears to have been on the reform programme for 2016. The "strategic" industries subject to specific legislation "taking into consideration energy consumption, subsidies and pollution"1.1. include the following:
• mechanical carpet weaving;
• fabrication of bars, angles, shapes and sections, and concrete reinforcing bars;
• manufacture of lime and cement; and
• flat glass.
