The National Agency for Energy Control, in partnership with the United Nations Development Program and funded by the British Embassy in Tunisia, is organizing the Information Days on Low-Carbon Development in the Energy Sector on June 26, 27, and 28, 2024, in Hammamet. These days are intended for public administrations, organizations, and public institutions involved in this field.
In his opening speech for the Information Days, Mr. Fethi Hanchi, General Director of the National Agency for Energy Control, emphasized the importance of this event, which will provide administrative structures with knowledge and understanding of international and national challenges in the field of low-carbon development in the energy sector. This will enable them to establish the necessary monitoring mechanisms to keep up with technological developments related to energy and climate.
In this context, the agency is working with various international partners to coordinate interventions in the field of energy management and emission reductions in the energy sector to achieve the set goals.

The scarcity of national natural resources along with the increase of energy demand leads Tunisia to initiate an energy transition process focusing on the increase of the share of renewable energies in the production of electricity in order to reach 12% by 2020 and 30% by 2030, in comparison to the current 3%. Indeed, the objective is to reach a renewable electric power of 3815 MW by 2030. -
