Evolution of Energy Balance (ktoe)Surplus Deficit

2012 1635 ktoe

Since 2000, Tunisia has become a net energy importer. In 2012, the energy independence ratio was approximately 80% with a deficit of 1.6 Million toe.This is mainly due to the decrease of the resources and the rapid growth in demandthe energy deficit is dominated by natural gas (75%). This energy is the main source of electricity generation.

Electricity is among the most heavily subsidized energy.

In 2012 the share of the subsidy was 49% of electricity cost. In other words, the State shares the cost of kWh with the consumer.

Production and consumption analysis and study of prioritization of products for labeling.

International best practices and experiences study. Assessing the capacity to develop and implement a labeling program,

including: Labeling programs policies and regulation; Standards/specifications; Stakeholders requirements and market needs; Institutional and relevant agencies preparation; Resources and capabilities, including funds, human resources, local

manufacturing and testing facilities.

Success Factors & Lessons Learned

A participatory multi-stakeholder approach is the most effective way of insuring the success of the strategy elaboration and implementation

Control and market monitoring is an essential action to win consumer trust: Ministry of Trade have conducted in 2013 a large campaign of market surveillance to verify conformity of products tested against products marketed

Communication is a powerful tool to promote high performance and efficient technologies: ANME is developing a new communication strategy to promote Energy Labeling Programs

Governments must create a win - win situation between the state and the consumer: ANME is developing a mechanism to promote 1 million high performance refrigerators (600.000 replacement & 400.000 new acquisition)
