A recent meeting between the Professional Association for Renewable Energies in Conect and the Distribution Management of the Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company (STEG) has led to an agreement to review the technical reference guide for storage systems in Tunisia. The review aims to ensure user and equipment safety, while also simplifying procedures for connecting these systems to the electrical grid. This development is expected to boost the growth of renewable energy in the country.

The Professional Association for Renewable Energies in Conect, along with several companies active in the field of renewable energies and storage, participated in the meeting. The discussions focused on exchanging views on the technical reference guide for storage systems. The agreement to revise certain points in the guide is seen as a positive step towards promoting the use of renewable energy sources in Tunisia.

The review of the technical guide is expected to address concerns related to the safety and efficiency of storage systems. This, in turn, is likely to increase public confidence in the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. The Tunisian government has been promoting the development of renewable energy to reduce the country's dependence on imported fossil fuels.

The Professional Association for Renewable Energies in Conect has reiterated its commitment to defending the right of Tunisian citizens to adopt energy storage systems and connect them to renewable energy systems. The association aims to facilitate access to these technologies, which will support the country's energy transition and enhance consumer independence in the energy sector.

The agreement to review the technical guide for storage systems is a significant development in Tunisia's renewable energy sector. The sector has seen growth in recent years, driven by government incentives and declining costs of renewable energy technologies. The review of the technical guide is expected to further accelerate this growth.

The Tunisian government has set ambitious targets for the development of renewable energy. The country aims to increase its share of renewable energy in the energy mix to 30% by 2030. The review of the technical guide for storage systems is seen as a crucial step towards achieving this target.

The development of energy storage systems is critical to the growth of renewable energy in Tunisia. The country's renewable energy sector faces challenges related to intermittency and grid stability. The review of the technical guide for storage systems is expected to address these challenges and create new opportunities for investment in the sector.
