Core area “Climate and energy, just transition” Promoting renewable energies, launching an energy transition
Germany contributes funding to the construction of photovoltaic systems and wind farms and, through its development cooperation, offers technical advice on implementing the transformation of the energy system. It also assists with training experts, for instance technicians capable of installing photovoltaic systems, and supports approaches that seek to increase the energy efficiency in public buildings.
Germany has provided support to 250 enterprises, making it possible for them to install more than 17,000 photovoltaic systems. These development cooperation activities are to help provide in excess of 350,000 households with electricity from renewable energies and to significantly reduce Tunisia's emissions of harmful Carbon dioxide.
