The Future of Electric Networks in New York
To serve the varied needs of our New York customer base, National Grid operates and maintains an electric system that consists of more than 6,000 miles of electric transmission lines.
Tunisia's national grid is connected to those of Algeria and Libya which together helped supply about 12% of Tunisia's power consumption in the first half of 2023. Moreover, in August 2023, Tunisia's sub-sea connection project with Italy, called ELMED, was approved for $337 million funding from the European Commission.
As one of the most climate vulnerable Mediterranean countries, Tunisia's electrical system is expecting increased demand resulting from expanding peak-hour demand patterns, intensifying cooling needs stemming from greater warm spells, and increasing desalination needs.
Much of Tunisia's electricity production comes from gas turbines. Major players in this sector include General Electric (USA), Mitsubishi (Japan), Ansaldo (Italy), and Siemens (Germany). In 2019, STEG launched a tender to install a pilot smart grid power distribution system of 400,000 smart meters.
While STEG controls the vast majority (91.7%) of installed generating capacity and generates 84% of the country's electricity, there is one independent power producer, Carthage Power Company, operating in Tunisia. Carthage Power Company owns and operates a 471-MW combined cycle power plant.
