By January 24, 2012, TuNur Ltd had been established as a joint-venture company between UK solar developer Nur Energie Ltd and a group of Tunisian investors led by Top Oilfield Services to develop the TuNur solar export project, including a planned ~2 GW HVDC submarine cable link from Tunisia to central Italy. The JV’s mission is to deliver the first utility‑scale solar export project between Tunisia and Europe, and by this time it had already identified the Tunisian site, carried out long‑term solar measurements, defined a viable cable route to Italy, and secured a 2,000 MW grid connection solution from Italian grid operator Terna at an optimal landing point in central Italy.
