Why Tunisia’s renewable energy strategy is facing resistance (opens original article in a new tab)

Tunisia's renewable energy strategy faces resistance as new concessions allow foreign multinationals to profit, raising concerns about energy dependency and public wealth transfer.

• Tunisia's energy deficit is $3.8bn, 51% of its total trade deficit, growing since 2000.
• Five renewable energy concessions approved allow foreign companies to profit, with public costs and limited local benefits.
• The concessions risk deepening energy dependency and transferring public wealth to private hands.
