Tunisian Utility Planning 600 MW Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Plant

Tunisian utility STEG is planning to build a 400-600 MW pumped hydro energy storage plant, for a 2029
commissioning date. STEG, or the Société tunisienne de l’électricité et du gaz (Tunisian Company of
Electricity and Gas), is currently undertaking studies for the project. The project is being planned for a
location on the Oued El Melah river, 17km from the nearest town, Tabarka, and will have a power of
400-600 MW. A MWh capacity was not revealed, but pumped hydro energy storage technology’s typical
duration of between 6-20 hours would equate to potentially anywhere between 2.4 GWh and 12 GWh.
The French Development Agency (AFD), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the German
Development Bank (KfW) are all contributing to the cost of the studies.
