Work Detail

Expression of Interest for Technical Assistance to Support Tunisia in Defining Commercial and Regulatory Arrangements for Elmed The ELMED interconnector between Tunisia and Italy represents an opportunity for Tunisia to connect directly to the European electricity market. Co-financed by the World Bank and other partners, the Elmed project will enable the exchange of electricity between the two countries (and wider with the European Union via the single European electricity market), allowing Tunisia to export renewable electricity to Europe and to import when required, thereby strengthening Tunisias energy security, diversification, and integration into regional power markets. To fully capture these benefits, Tunisia needs to develop a clear understanding of the possible commercial and regulatory arrangements for cross-border electricity trading via the Elmed interconnector. This will enable the country to engage effectively in discussions and negotiations with Italy and the European Union (EU) on the operationalization of electricity exchanges. This Technical Assistance (TA) will therefore support the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy (MIME) and Société Tunisienne de lÉlectricité et du Gaz (STEG) in the operationalization of the Elmed electricity interconnector with Italy. The activities under this ToR will lay the groundwork for enhanced regional connectivity and improved security of supply. This will include analytical and technical assistance to support Tunisias medium- and long-term regional electricity market integration, with focus on the Elmed interconnector. Activities will assess the legal, regulatory, market, and commercial requirements for Tunisia to participate in the European electricity market and enable renewable energy exports to Europe and imports when needed, while identifying risks, and strengthening institutional capacity of Tunisia to engage in these discussions and negotiations with their European counterparts.
