Tunisia authorizes residential solar-plus-storage as heat strains the grid

The authorization applies to low-voltage customers, including households and businesses, and comes as high air-conditioning demand strains Tunisia’s electricity network. PV owners will be able to pair battery storage with hybrid inverters under technical requirements set by STEG. The policy is significant because it turns residential solar-plus-storage into a grid-resilience tool during heatwaves and recurring power interruptions.
