Our Vision

In 2013, Tunisia engaged in a national debate on how to implement an energy transition strategy for the period to 2030.

This initiative took place in the context of a worsening structural energy deficit, an increasingly unstable international oil market, and a vertiginous increase in Tunisian state energy subsidies.

The debate galvanized all the stakeholders – including ministries, local authorities, civil society, and international partners – to find tangible and equitable solutions to these challenges.

In this context, ANME is committed to achieving the following three energy transition objectives:

• Increasing the share of renewable energies to 30% of the electricity mix by 2030;
• Reducing primary energy demand by 30% in 2030, compared to 2010 levels;
• Reducing carbon emissions by 41% in 2030, compared to 2010 levels.

In order to achieve these objectives, ANME is pursuing the following initiatives:

• Managing mandatory, periodic energy audits in the industry, transport, and service sectors; and consulting on large energy-consuming projects subject to mandatory prior consultation;
• Proposing incentives, promotions, and procedures likely to reduce energy consumption;
• Certifying equipment, materials, and products that optimize energy efficiency or that relate to renewable energies. Such certification provides benefits in accordance with current rules and regulations;
• Encouraging the use of techniques and technologies that optimize energy efficiency;
• Developing pilot projects in the field of energy management and monitoring the implementation of these projects;
• Providing training in the field of energy management in collaboration with our national and international partners;
• Planning and implementing national awareness-raising and education programs in the field of energy management;
• Participating in scientific research programs in the field of energy management;
• Studying, organizing, and evaluating energy management projects and carrying out research related to ANME’s fields of activity, in particular on the connection between reductions in energy consumption and the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions;
• Developing a database of energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions, with an analysis of the links to energy management indicators.
