A 200 million Euros agreement recently concluded between "Made", a subsidiary of the Spanish company specializing in alternative energies, "Gamesa", and the Tunisian gas and electricity company (STEG), will lead to the setting up of Tunisia's largest wind power facility in the Bizerte region.
The agreement which will lead to the supply of some 91 AE-61 wind turbine generators in the Metline and Kchabta wind farms, will generate some 120 MW of electric power.
It is expected that the project will produce some 120 jobs in Tunisia during the two first years. Part of the ancillary equipment will be built in Tunisia and the wind farms' electrical works will be subcontracted in the country.
The project will also significantly contribute to Tunisia's sustainable development and environmental strategy, as the annual production of these installations, 120 MW will replace 35,691 tons of petroleum equivalent; it will also avoid the emission of some 311, 261 tons of CO2 year.
The Spanish operator which has already contributed to setting up the Sidi Daoud wind farms in the Cap Bon area, reinforces its position as the main wind turbine generator supplier in Tunisia. Along with the new project the group has contributed to generate some 170 MW of wind power energy in the country.
“Gamesa”, which operates in 20 countries over 4 continents, has installed 13,000 MW throughout the world. The company has 32 production centres in Spain, China and the US and employs a workforce of 7000 employees.
