(MENAFN) Italy will be able to import 600,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of power per year from Tunisia starting in 2018 after Tunisia completes a power generating area and an interconnector, Reuters reported.
The power generating area in Tunisia will produce electricity from conventional and renewable sources, Italy’s Industry Ministry Undersecretary Stefano Saglia said in a note carrying his comments in the Tunisia Solar International Conference.
The area will have a generating capacity of 1,200 MW, 400 MW of which will be for the Tunisian market and the rest for Italy, he said.
The interconnector with Italy will have a capacity of 1,000 MW, he said, adding the tender bid for the underwater cable is close.
Italian national grid operator Terna plans to invest 400-500 million euros in the interconnector to Tunisia.
