Program for the replacement of 4 million incandescent lamps with LED lamps: PROMO-LED

The residential sector consumes 4.7GWh (figures 2015) of electricity per year, which represents 30% of electricity distributed by the STEG. Lighting alone represents 15% of household electricity consumption.

In 2014, of the 18 million light sources used in the residential sector, ~ 7 million are incandescent lamps (excluding chandeliers) (STEG 2014 survey).
This represents a real source for the reduction of electricity consumption without reducing the overall well-being of households. As an example, an incandescent lamp with a capacity of 75W can be replaced by an equivalent LED of a 12W power (a consumption reduction of 80%).

The distribution will be done at the rate of 3 lamps per household. Priority will be given to households paying the lowest kWh, which corresponds to the highest subsidy, the price can also be considered as a proxy of household wealth. More than 1.2 million homes are targeted (more than 40% of households subscribing to the electricity grid).

    30%
    The scarcity of national natural resources along with the increase of energy demand leads Tunisia to initiate an energy transition process focusing on the increase of the share of renewable energies in the production of electricity in order to reach 12% by 2020 and 30% by 2030, in comparison to the current 3%. Indeed, the objective is to reach a renewable electric power of 3815 MW by 2030.
