In October 2022, Tunisia moved closer to establishing minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and labels for energy efficient lighting through a workshop and series of meetings convened by ANME, the Tunisian National Agency for Energy Management, and the United Nations Environment Programme’s United for Efficiency (UNEP-U4E) initiative as part of the Leapfrogging Tunisia's Lighting Market to High Efficiency Technologies project. This project, funded by the Global Environment Facility ...Read More
Tunisia Prepares to Equip New Photometry Testing Laboratory to Enhance its National Energy Efficient Lighting Testing Capabilities
In October 2022, as Tunisia prepares its final specifications to purchase new photometry equipment necessary for testing lamps in the main usage sectors, senior staff from Tunisia’s National Agency for Energy Management (ANME) and the national test laboratory CETIME, spent four days on a study tour in France to develop a fuller understanding of the technical features and quality of the key measurement systems required. Tunisia will effectively equip a modern photometric test facility to ...Read More
Official launch of Tunisia´s project to facilitate the rapid market transformation to high energy efficiency and usage-controlling lighting technologies
Improvement in Tunisia´s sustainable energy supply situation has been limited by restricted investment in energy resources, a decline in conventional fossil fuel energy production and a great increase in national energy demand. The growing imbalance between resources and energy needs has generated a deficit which reached 62% of primary energy demand in 2020. Moreover, the energy sector is by far the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Tunisia, accounting for 58% of the country’s ...Read More
