Solar panels in Tunisia

If Europe decides to turn away from nuclear and other sources of energy, as current trends tend to indicate, where will the continent look to power its future? Some say: Tunisia.
As nuclear scientists continued to give dire reports over the state of the damaged Fukushima power plant this past year, European public opinion became ever more negative about nuclear energy. Politicians across the continent have been quick to perceive these shifting attitudes. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ruling coalition declared that Germany would close all nuclear reactors by 2022. Even in France, the world’s most nuclear-dependent country, Socialist presidential candidate François Hollande has floated the idea of slashing France’s nuclear consumption by more than a third by 2025. As Europe scrambles to find alternative sources of energy, it is searching in the deserts south of the Mediterranean.
Tunisia is poised to play its part in Europe’s shift in energy consumption. The North African country is endowed with a reliable source of solar power in its southern Saharan region with 20% stronger radiation than even the best locations in Europe. Because of its proximity to Italy, Tunisia is well placed to transfer such renewable energy directly to European markets, with much less energy loss along the way compared to its Maghreb neighbors.
TuNur, a joint-venture company between NurEnergie, a solar power plant developer based in England, and a collection of Tunisian investors, has seized upon the unmet export market of solar energy from Tunisia to Europe. It establishes the first solar export scheme between Tunisia and Europe.
Around 825,000 flat plate mirrors, known as heliostats, as well as a 2-gigawatt solar power plant will harness the energy of the Saharan sun to generate electricity. Such electricity will then be transferred by high-voltage direct-current submarine power cables to Italy from where it will be sold elsewhere in Europe. TuNur expects to conduct its first electricity exports, powering 700,000 European households, by 2016.
