Tunisia has revised its target for the share of renewable energy in electricity generation from 30% to 35% by 2030. The goal is to have 8,530 MW of renewable energy capacity for electricity generation by 2035. Energy efficiency and the extensive use of renewable energy are the main ways the country is focusing on to further control primary energy demand.
