After Morocco, where the first reference power plant of North Africa is in planning, DESERTEC should now be intensified specifically in Tunisia. For this purpose, the Dii GmbH in cooperation with the Tunisian state energy company STEG started work on a feasibility study for the construction of solar thermal power plants and wind energy projects. In addition, the Dii GmbH wants to open an office in Tunis to accelerate the implementation of DESERTEC through close cooperation with the Tunisian government.
Despite the recent unrest in North Africa, the construction of solar-thermal power plants is making progress. The first tender for a solar power plant in Morocco will be carried out at the end of 2012. Probably by 2015 the construction of the plant can begin. Morocco could be followed by Tunisia. So representatives of the Dii GmbH have auditioned with various ministries of the local interim government past week.
