Project description and context
As part of a Tunisian-German cooperation program and to support the achievement of the objectives of the Tunisian Solar Plan (PST), the National Agency for Energy Management (ANME) seeks to set up a national pilot system for the development of financing of photovoltaic (PV) installations for non-residential use and for self-consumption. In this sense, the German international cooperation agency GIZ has mandated AMEF Consulting to support ANME in setting up such a device.
Work carried out by AMEF Consulting
- Organization and animation of a national seminar on PV financing for self-consumption and presentation of the PV financing pilot scheme project
- Design of the PV financing mechanism, integrating a line of credit, a guarantee fund, investment premiums and a technical assistance facility
- Meetings and negotiations with several international donors to solicit their interest in the PV pilot scheme and support its implementation
- Meetings with banks and leasing operators to interest them in registering for the PV system as a local financial partner and identify their needs in terms of technical assistance and training
- Carry out studies to better define and successfully set up and use the PV pilot system: market study; the opportunity to develop a secondary PV market
- Definition of an action plan for promotion, awareness and communication on the pilot system
- Definition of a training plan for employees of partner financial institutions in the PV system
