The government is preparing a program to secure water and electricity by 2027

The government has announced the preparation of an integrated prevention programme for the year 2027 to ensure continuity of supply of clean drinking water and electricity during peak periods of consumption in Tunisia.

Economy and Planning Minister Samir Abdul Hafez explained that the government's plan includes expanding two seawater desalination plants in both Sfax and Zara to increase their production capacity.

The proposed measures include boosting available water resources, as well as improving the efficiency and maintenance of distribution networks to reduce recurring outages during periods of high demand.

Minister of Economy and Planning Samir Abdul Hafez had announced the completion of the preparation of the major economic legislative reform package and its formal submission to Parliament and the National Council of Governments.

These arrangements are part of a governmental mandate aimed at addressing drinking water shortages and power disruptions, through pre-intervention in water and energy infrastructure and the development of existing plants.
