They are part of 38 regional proposals valued at €145 billion, nearly three-quarters of which remain at a preliminary stage, Italpress reports.
The nine Tunisian expressions of interest represent a potential value of around €33 billion under the European T-MED energy initiative, according to Erwan Martin, head of energy at the European Commission's Directorate-General for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf, quoted by Italpress.
These proposals are part of 38 projects submitted for seven partner countries, with a potential regional value of €145 billion. Nearly three-quarters are still at a preliminary stage of development, Erwan Martin said at the 28th Réalités International Forum, held in Hammamet on 6 November.
The €33 billion associated with the Tunisian projects corresponds to their projected value and not to approved funding or investments definitively committed, according to the European official. Five investors have also been selected through a separate process to examine investment opportunities in the Tunisian market.
Launched in June 2026, T-MED supports the development of renewable energy, renewable hydrogen, clean technologies and electricity infrastructure in countries on the southern Mediterranean. Tunisia, alongside Morocco and Egypt, is among the three countries in the region that have attracted the most proposals, according to Erwan Martin.
