EUR 154 Million from FEMIP for Energy Production and Environmental Protection in Tunisia BEI/06/148 Tunis/Luxembourg, 15 December 2006 EUR 154 million from FEMIP for energy production and environmental protection in Tunisia Contracts for European Investment Bank (EIB) loans totalling EUR 154 million for energy production and environmental protection in Tunisia were signed today by H.E. Mr Mohamed Nouiri Jouini, Minister of Development and International Cooperation and Mr Philippe de Fontaine Vive, EIB Vice-President with responsibility for the Facility for Euro- Mediterranean Investment and Partnership (FEMIP), during his visit to the country. Mr de Fontaine Vive stated: “The EIB attaches great importance to projects financed in this way for a number of reasons. These loans for natural gas-based energy production and the environment will help to improve the quality of life of local people and enhance the country’s attractiveness as a location for investment in industrial activities and services, particularly in the tourism sector”. These FEMIP loans concern the following projects: EUR 114 million will go to Société Tunisienne de l’Électricité et du Gaz (STEG) for the construction of a natural gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant in Ghannouch (Gabès region). The project is part of the Tunisian Government’s priority programme to increase and upgrade STEG’s generating capacity in order to meet the country’s constantly growing demand for electricity, while at the same time optimising the efficiency of its facilities. Scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2009, the 400 MWe plant will be equipped with single-shaft combined-cycle gas turbines, an energy-efficient technology with limited environmental impact. It is designed to run on natural gas. This fifth EIB loan for the electricity sector in Tunisia since 1995 brings the total amount advanced to EUR 310 million. EUR 40 million is to be lent to Office National d'Assainissement (ONAS) to finance investment in wastewater collection networks and treatment plants in various cities in Tunisia in accordance with its 2006-2010 investment programme. The schemes supported by this loan are located in the following cities: Tunis, Hammamet, Kerkennah, Mahdia, Gabès, Médenine, Tataouine and Gafsa. The project will help to improve the quality of the service and living conditions for the inhabitants of Greater Tunis and a number of inland cities. It will also provide access to the sewerage system for a population of some 280 000, including 40 000 residents of the suburban areas of Greater Tunis who were not previously served. This loan attracts an interest rate subsidy financed from European Union budgetary resources, earmarked for environmental projects. Background information With loans totalling EUR 8 to 10 billion at the end of 2006, FEMIP marks an important step forward in financial and economic cooperation between the Union and the Mediterranean partner countries. Its main priority is to promote the development of the private sector (in particular SMEs and FDI) and support projects that help to create a favourable climate for private investment (economic infrastructure, programmes in the health and education sectors). Its ultimate goal is to assist the Mediterranean partner countries in meeting the challenge of economic and social modernisation and to strengthen regional integration, with a view to the Euro-Mediterranean free trade area due to be established in 2010. In addition to the loans and grants provided for technical assistance, FEMIP encourages the rapid expansion of the private sector by taking equity or quasi-equity participations in private companies in order to help the Mediterranean partner countries accelerate their economic and social modernisation, in particular through reinforced regional integration. These FEMIP activities are financed from the European Community budget (EUR 200 million over the period 2001-2006) and the FEMIP Trust Fund, which was established in December 2004 (EUR 33.5 million). With an office in Tunis since 2004 and investments of approximately EUR 2 billion in Tunisia since 1995, FEMIP has been involved in financing capital projects that will have a major impact on the country’s economic development. Contacts: For any additional information on financing in the Mediterranean partner countries and FEMIP, as well as press enquiries, please contact the Communication and Information Department, Ms Helen Kavvadia, Senior Communications Officer (tel.: +352 4379 3134; fax: +352 4379 3188) or consult the following page on the Bank’s website: http://www.eib.org/femip .

  • A Study in Dispossession: the Political Ecology of Phosphate in Tunisia
    A study in dispossession: the political ecology of phosphate in Tunisia Mathieu Rousselin1 Independent Researcher, Dortmund, Germany Abstract This article seeks to evidence the social, environmental and political repercussions of phosphate extraction and transformation on two peripheral Tunisian cities (Gabes and Gafsa). After positing the difference between class environmentalism and political ecology, it addresses the harmful effects of phosphate transformation on the world's last coastal oasis and on various cities of the Gulf of Gabes. It then sheds light on the gross social, environmental and health inequalities brought about by phosphate extraction in the mining region of Gafsa. The confiscatory practices of the phosphate industry are subsequently linked with global production and distribution chains at the international level as well as with centralized and authoritarian forms of government at the national and local level. Dispossessed local communities have few alternatives other than violent protest movements and emigration towards urban centers of wealth. Using the recent experience in self-government in the Jemna palm grove, the article ends with a reflection on the possible forms of subaltern resistance to transnational extractivism and highlights the ambiguous role of the new "democratic state" as a power structure reproducing patterns of domination and repression inherited from the colonial period and cemented under the dictatorship of Ben Ali. Keywords: political ecology, transnational extractivism, phosphate, Tunisia. Résumé Cet article s'efforce de mettre en évidence les répercussions sociales, environnementales et politiques de l'industrie d'extraction et de transformation du phosphate sur deux villes de la périphérie tunisienne (Gabès et Gafsa). Après avoir exposé la différence entre l'environnementalisme de classe et l'écologie politique, cet article analyse les effets délétères de la transformation du phosphate sur la dernière oasis littorale du monde ainsi que sur plusieurs villes du Golfe de Gabès.

By examining typical heat consumer profiles in Tunisia, the analysis compares three different solar thermal technologies that can be used to replace conventional heat supply technologies and lead to fossil fuel savings. Simulations for different geographical locations are compiled and then compared to economic boundary conditions. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis enables the evaluation of the effect of changes in framework conditions (such as changes in subsidy, technology costs, fuel prices) on the profitability of solar thermal systems. The study gives an overview of present market segments and provides guidance with regard to the economic feasibility of respective systems.

  • Tunisian Gas Pipeline - Nawara
    Langue : English Original : Français AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP PROJECT : SOUTH TUNISIAN GAS PIPELINE - NAWARA COUNTRY : TUNISIA ____________________________________________________________________________ ECEXUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT April 2014 Executive summary of the environmental and social impact assessment Project name : South Tunisian Gas Pipeline - Nawara. Country : Tunisia Project number : P-TN-FD0-006 2 I. INTRODUCTION The Bank was approached by the consortium OMV/STGP consortium to finance the STGP project in 2011. A Project Evaluation Note (PEN) was approved by OPSM management for a senior loan of up to USD 200 million as a project finance facility. However, under the post revolution scenario and in light of the Hasdrubal project experience in 2010, ETAP and the Bank have shown a preference for a corporate loan facility in favor of ETAP to finance it’s investment plan over the years 2013-2020. It is noteworthy that within the Hadsrubal financing framework, the Bank requested from ETAP and monitored the implementation of an environmental and social management plan (ESMS) for all ETAP’s activities in compliance to international standards. The Bank had then assisted ETAP in this assignment and approved the ESMS. ETAP’s Investment Program (IP) for the period 2013-2020 comprises two major activities: i) further development of oil & gas fields production and related infrastructure in the Tunisian southern region, and ii) the expansion of treatment and transport infrastructure for products from the fields to the port of Gabès. The STGP project represents the backbone of gas infrastructure network and will lay the foundation to develop hydrocarbon resources for future energy sufficiency.
