The firms will sell wind power to the Tunisian Company of Electricity and Gas (STEG) at prices ranging between 110 millimes and 135 millimes per kilowatt hour. Germany's ABO Wind, French firms Lucia Holding and VSB Energies Nouvelles, and The Netherlands' UPC Tunisia Renewables have become the first foreign companies to be granted electricity production licences from the Tunisian government. The country's Ministry of Industry and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises has provisionally approved wind projects worth TND400m ($132m) in a deal that will see them start generating power by 2015. Tunisia's energy deficit was TND19bn in 2018.
