Contract Type FiledDecember 24th, 2014Following the revolution started in 2010 which sparked the Arab Spring, Tunisia experienced negative growth in 2011.

As the domestic demand for electricity increases with rapid economic growth, the Government of Tunisia has worked actively to develop new sources of electric power.
