Rural Electrification in Tunisia : National Commitment, Efficient Implementation and Sound Finances
Tunisia's achievement of 100 percent urban and 88 percent rural electrification is remarkable, all the more so because the country's definition of rural electrification is restricted to connections made outside incorporated areas. Compare...

| description |
Tunisia's achievement of 100
percent urban and 88 percent rural electrification is
remarkable, all the more so because the country's
definition of rural electrification is restricted to
connections made outside incorporated areas. Compared to
rural populations in other developing countries with high
rates of electrification, Tunisia's rural
population-although only 35 percent of the total
population-is highly dispersed and isolated, with long
distances between small groups of often scattered houses.
This characteristic, combined with the Government's
social commitment to connecting all households, has highly
influenced program costs and choice of institutional set-up,
distribution system, and technology. This paper reports on
the major factors contributing to Tunisia's successful
rural electrification program, primarily: 1) the national
commitment to rural electrification as part of a broader,
integrated rural development program emphasizing social
equity; 2) an effective institutional structure and
coordination of project planning and selection; 3) the
utility's sound management and continuing process of
technical innovation; 4) the robust financial arrangements;
and 5) the complementary strategy of using photovoltaic
cells to serve isolated users. |
