TuNur Ltd

TuNur Ltd is an independent renewable energy, transmission and green hydrogen developer positioned between Europe and Africa, with core activities in Tunisia and the wider Mediterranean region. Originating as a joint venture between UK-based solar developer Nur Energie and Tunisian investors, the company develops utility-scale solar and wind generation projects for both domestic demand and export, and couples these with dedicated transmission and energy sales structures. Its flagship initiative is the TuNur solar export concept in southern Tunisia, centred on multi‑gigawatt concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in the Sahara and high‑voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea interconnectors to Malta and Italy, with options to reach other European markets. Studies referenced by TuNur envisage around 2–2.25 GW of CSP capacity delivering roughly 9 TWh of dispatchable power annually to Europe, supplying several million homes, avoiding millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions each year and creating tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs. Alongside export projects, TuNur is building a domestic portfolio that includes a 10 MW solar PV plant at Gabes, developed with partners Erebus Investment and Shanghai Electric under a Tunisian ministry tender, and has proposed a 500 MW export‑oriented solar complex across Kebili and Gabes. The company is expanding into green hydrogen and derivatives through TuNur Green Hydrogen, targeting integrated renewable generation, electrolysers and green ammonia or methanol production for local use and export, and participates in the planned SoutH2 hydrogen pipeline corridor from North Africa to central Europe. TuNur also engages in EU-level policy and market design debates via the EU Transparency Register, aligning its project development with frameworks such as the Green Deal, TEN‑E and Mediterranean neighbourhood policies. Sustainability commitments focus on early community engagement, adherence to national and international standards, and maximizing long‑term socio‑economic benefits in host regions while contributing to global decarbonisation.
