Tunisia’s state-owned electricity and gas company, Steg, has officially authorized battery storage systems for solar installations connected to the national grid. This decision comes amidst a growing energy crisis characterized by frequent power outages. A new technical framework, released on July 22, 2026, will regulate the integration of these battery systems. This marks a significant step forward in the development of photovoltaic energy in the country. The move aims to improve grid stability and increase reliance on renewable energy sources. This new regulation is expected to encourage wider adoption of solar power with storage capabilities among consumers and businesses. This development signifies a notable change in Tunisia's energy policy.
