4. Tunisia overview Power generation heavily dependent on imported gas
Subsidised prices, first subsidy lifts in 2014
STEG as quasi monopolist for generation, transmission, distribution
New targets for RE (Plan Solaire Tunisien) in : 1,700 MW wind; 1500 MW PV; 500 MW CSP
Renewable Energy Law blocked
STWH: 700,000 m² (of targeted 1 million m² by ) installed (2013)
EE: established, supporting agency ANME, decrease of energy intensity
RE capacity equals 6% of total capacity or 3% of annual production
PV: mostly small-scale, 10 MW project co-financed by KfW
RE Jobs: 3390 (1,445 direct, 975 indirect) ; EE Jobs: 930

5. Tunisia overview 2 Framework conditions
Dependency on limited number of foreign markets and sectors
Good state of infrastructure (transportation, energy) but limited to interior regions
High level of education but also high unemployment among youth, limited engagement of private sector in vocational training
Policy
Established industrial policy with current focus on innovation, FDI, export
Regional development (e.g. Pôles de Compétivité)
Private sector
Industrial sector: Developed industry  (manufacturing, service sector) but fragmented (regional, ownership, export/local market)
RE Manufacturing: services and partly equipment (STWH, EE); research, cluster (Borj Cedria)

6. Barriers and Opportunities for RE development
Framework conditions
Risk averse banks
Potential lack of adequately skilled labour and training programmes
Policy
electricity market concentrated, private investments blocked
Stakeholder dialogue evolving but potential for inclusion of civil society including the private sector
Blockage of Renewable Energy Law
Administrative procedures are not transparent, not standardized
Private sector
Lack of information and capacities with regard to business models
Low level of organisation of RE companies
Opportunities
Well developed infrastructure
RE resources
High level of education, existing RE university programmes
Support for FDI
experience with EE (policy, institution, instruments),
Existing self-consumption/net-metering scheme
Successful PROSOL programme (STWH), PROSOLelec developing under current market conditions
Industrial/regional development policy
Existing RE / EE industrial sector including manufacturing and services
Industry and technology hubs
Initiatives to promote connection among industry players

7. Tunisia - Questions Framework conditions
How can needed private investment (PST) be stimulated? Which roles do banks and FDI play?
Capacity building with banks?
How can research, industry and education be better linked?
Policy
Liberalisation of energy market? Independent regulator?
how can processes for projects be standardized? How can clear regulations for investors be established?
What is needed to guarantee grid-access to private investors?
Policy alignment: industrial/energy policy and RE/EE private sector development and regional development
What can be learned from the PROSOL design and implementation?
How can the energy debate be further developed to promote renewable energy law? Further stakeholder dialogues? How can an ordinance be established?
Private sector
Business case development; pilot cases funded by gvt/donors?
Capacity building with regard to market development (PV, STWH…)
Can value chains be completed in collaboration with international players?
Which part of the value chain or which types of companies should be supported?

8. MOROCCO

9. Morocco - Overview Framework conditions
Large-scale investments for wind and solar
No grid connection for LV & MV, no net metering nor feed in tariff
Dependency on limited number of foreign markets
High level of education but also high unemployment among youth
High energy dependency
Policy
Strong legal framework, clear short term targets, robust instit.
Programme National des Actions Prioritiares: the energy sector
National Energy Strategy: Solar Plan, Integrated Wind Prog
Energy subsidies
Private sector
Enabling climate for investment is improving
Efficiency of the job market is ranked 121/155
ONEE, public concessions and some private (Regies)
Established competitors is very low, open market?
Federations of private sector, only a few SME do expand

10. 2020 – 2000 MW Solar - 2000 MW Wind – 2000 MW Hydraulic
Morrocco – overview
Targets for Renewable Energy:
2020 – 2000 MW Solar MW Wind – 2000 MW Hydraulic
2020 – 42% of installed capacity and 27% of electrical production
2020 – estimated job creation: 35120
Targets for Energy Efficiency:
2020 – 12% reduction of energy consumption and – 15% for 2030
2020 – estimated job creation: 17000

11. Morocco current status
Wind: 800 MW installed, 1,000 MW in process
CSP: 160 MW under construction, two tendered, 4th under prep

12. Morocco - Barriers BARRIERS Loi 13 -09 Grid connection
Framework conditions
Loi
Grid connection
Coherence in implmt‘ion
Policy
No net-metering
No feed in tariff
Concessions mgt
Private sector
Tendering processes
RE/EE subsidies mgt

13. Morocco – Questions Framework conditions
How can dialogues and coherence between different sectors be promoted?
How can trade-offs and co-benefits be made visible to the decision maker?
Policy
Should a support system based on RE/EE subsidies be supported? Or should a market competitiveness approach be preferred?
Should IPP be a model to follow? Decentralised generation?
Private sector
How can more financial analyses for RE&EE reach banks and potential investors?
Would auto-production stimulate the market?
