The proposed NAMA aims to increase the uptake of energy efficiency and renewable energy measures across the building sector
Activities: (2016 - 2021)
The key objective of the NAMA is to reduce the demand for fossil fuel-based energy in both existing and new buildings and associated GHG emissions as compared to the business as usual (BAU) scenario in Tunisia. It will also deliver sustainable development co-benefits and reinforce the Tunisian energy sector. The concept of this NAMA is to create a comprehensive and effective package of interlinked measures to tap the full mitigation potential of the building sector. The NAMA focuses on three programmes: solar water heaters, solar PV, and thermal performance. It is expected that the NAMA will support the transformation of the Tunisian building sector towards a low carbon path through promoting investments in low-carbon technologies, strengthening institutional capacities, as well as building and strengthening technical capacities.
Tthe NAMA focuses on three programmes:
- PROSOL : solar water heaters
- PROSOL ELEC : solar PV
- PROMO ISOL : thermal performance
These programmes are still facing financial, technical and communication-related challenges that prevent them from reaching their full scale-up. The launch of PROMO ISOL is planned but has not yet materialised due to a lack of capacity and financial support.
The United Kingdom and Germany have pre-selected 7 NAMA Support Projects, including this NAMA in Tunisia, from the NAMA Facility’s 4th Call. These projects will receive funding by Germany and the UK of up to € 60 million to prepare their preparation development phase. Decisions on funding for implementation will be taken after the assessment of these proposals.
This contribution aims to
- scale-ip PROSOL ELEC through the reform of its current financial mechanism to enable the participation at the roof-top PV market of all households
- enhance the legal and regulatory framework for all three programmes/technologies of the NAMA so as to facilitate the scaling-up
- strenghten communication on all three programmes to raise awareness of the different actors involved and to support the development of a sustainable renewable energy and energy efficiency market in Tunisia
The financial component will focus on PROSOL ELEC, which is less mature than PROSOL in order to maximise the scalability of the programme.

| Environmental: | Change behaviours of actors in the building sector by creating new markets niches for energy efficiency and renewable energy in the sector |
MRV Framework:
The Monitoring, Reporting and Verification system will enable to calculate total CO2 emission reductions and quantify the impacts of the NAMA. A set of key indicators, regarding GHG emissions, sustainable development co-benefits and investments for energy conservation in the building sector, have been defined. Monitoring activities of these indicators, whose frequency and methodology have been clearly identified, will be attributed to different parties: staff of the PROSOL programme responsible for solar water heaters, staff of the PROSOL ELEC programme responsible for solar PV, staff of the PROMO-ISOL programme responsible for thermal performance, and staff of the ANME for general indicators applicable to all technologies. MRV staff will be specified and appointed by the ANME. Verification will be carried out internally as well as externally by an accredited verifier.
