Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS

Overview
Tunisia's renewable energy stood at 11.60% in 2021, a decline of +1.30% from 2020. Tunisia ranked 138th globally.
Tunisia’s share of renewable energy in total final energy consumption fell to 11.60 percent in 2021, placing the country at rank 138 worldwide and tying it with Greenland while marginally above Jordan’s 11.50 percent and just below Belgium’s 11.70 percent. This figure represents a decline from the all‑time peak of 16.10 percent recorded in 2009 and a decrease from the earliest available observation of 14.50 percent in 1990, marking the lowest level in the 32‑year series. The downward trajectory suggests that policy incentives, grid integration challenges, and limited investment in solar and wind capacity have constrained progress, especially as regional peers such as Morocco have maintained higher renewable shares at 10.90 percent. Continued reforms in feed‑in tariffs, financing mechanisms and regional cooperation could reverse the trend, allowing Tunisia to regain a rising share of renewables in the coming decade.
