Program for Promoting Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

Started on Aug. 2021 and is ongoing.

Led by the National Agency for Energy Conservation (ANME) in collaboration with STEG (Tunisian Company of Electricity and Gas) to promote the adoption of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants in Tunisian industries.

In Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, electricity and heat are produced and used simultaneously from the same primary energy source and within the same installation. Electricity is produced from an alternator coupled to a heat engine or turbine. Simultaneously, heat is produced by recovering the system’s thermal energy waste.

If a CHP project is considered energy-efficient under Decree 2000-3232 terms relating to cogeneration (CHP), then ANME will issue the company a certificate confirming its energy efficiency status. Besides, Enterprises seeking to develop CHP projects can benefit from grants of 70% of the cost of feasibility studies up to 30,000 DT and 20% of the cost of material investments up to 200,000 DT.
