Set to generate 222 GWh of clean energy annually by late-2025, a 120 MW solar plant in Metbassta, Kairouan, will mitigate over 100,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year while reducing Tunisia's reliance on electricity imports. . With an average of over 3,000 hours of sunlight annually, Tunisia is ideally positioned to harness solar power to meet its energy demands sustainably. . effects, impels humanity to find new options of renewable energy sources. Solar power is one sunny Middle East and North Africa (MENA) territories. This paper explores the existing MENA countries, with a focus on two neighboring countries: Tunisia and Libya. The core deployment in the Libya. Despite limited economic growth over the last decade, peak demand for electricity has continued to grow at a high rate, around 5%. . As part of the country's commitment to reduce carbon emissions and achieve energy security, Tunisia aims to generate 35% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and 50% by 2050. The installed electricity capacity at the end of 2015 was 5,695 MW which is expected to sharply. .
