During the inauguration of the plant, Qair Director General Jerome Billerey said that the group is keen to launch more projects in Tunisia and support the country in its energy transition. “Tunisia is determined to develop the renewable energy sector despite the delay it has experienced,” said Tunisia's Minister of Industry, Energy and Mines Neila Gonji as cited by TAP. The North African country aims to reach a 35% share of renewable energy in its energy mix by the end of the decade. (EUR 1 = USD 1.052)Join Renewables Now's free daily newsletter now!
