Tunisia has 27 power plants in this atlas, with 5,052 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Rades A1 (700 MW, gas; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are gas, hydro and wind. Grid operators listed here include STEG. Renewables supplied 4.4% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
