Topic:TuNur Project and the Tunisia - Europe export opportunities
TuNur is a solar export project from Tunisia to Europe. The Project will contribute significantly to the decarbonization of the European grid by opening a new energy corridor between North Africa and Europe, purposefully built for the transportation of solar energy from the Sahara desert to the European grid. At the same time the project will provide the strong stimulus to enhance the Tunisian economy and further its path toward sustainable growth.
