DELAYED +8yr (Apr 2026): TuNur’s original plan assumed financial close and construction start by end‑2019. ENTSO‑E TYNDP 2024/2026 list “TuNur Malta” (Project 1230) only at study / pre‑feasibility stage with no sign of construction or FID, so a 2019 construction start is impossible. Allowing several years from current pre‑feasibility to FID plus typical lead‑times, a late‑2020s start (around 2028) is more realistic than the developer’s earlier timeline. --- In late 2017, TuNur indicated that for TuNur Phase 1—a 250 MW CSP tower in southwest Tunisia combined with a dedicated HVDC transmission line to Malta—it aimed to reach financial close and begin construction by the end of 2019, with an expected construction period of two and a half to three years before commercial operation.
