About this project

Qair is developing a 20 MWp solar photovoltaic power plant in Fériana, comprising two 10MWp tranches. The project is the result of several calls for tender launched by the Ministry in charge of energy between 2017 and 2020. The project is being developed by Quadran Tunisie, a subsidiary of the Qair Group, in partnership with Shams Technology, METSP (Mazarine Energy Tunisia Solar Project, a subsidiary of Mazarine Energy) and Lactech, respectively. Power purchase agreements have been signed with the national electricity supplier STEG (Société Tunisienne d'Electricité et de Gaz), between May 2018 and July 2020, for a minimum term of twenty years (with the option to continue for a further 5 years). The project site is located in Fériana, a town in central-western Tunisia belonging to the Kasserine governorate. The sub-projects will be developed on plots of 20 ha each, within a 200 ha plot located on the northeast side of the Gafsa - Fériana P15 road. The power plant will be connected to the nearest STEG substation (associated facility) located approximately 1.7 km from the site via a 30 kV connection line. The project will thus contribute to Tunisia's renewable energy development objectives, while creating jobs in the region, and be the first large-scale solar power plant in the country (>15MW)
