 *1800 MW by 2030
 The threshold that limits the development goals of wind energy by 2011 is defined by the capability of wind power integration into the Tunisian grid, which according to STEG amounts to 200 MW only. To address grid-related issues, interconnections of the Tunisian power grid to the grids of Algeria, Libya and European countries are planned.
