The Tunur energy company lobbying for the construction of a colossal sugar in the scale of the solar power plant, which will be able to nourish energy, Italy and France with energy. As part of this project, in the desert, they are going to build a park of solar batteries with a total capacity of 4.5 GW. And transmitted energy to European countries through underwater cables.
The logic of businessmen is simple – since in Europe they began to actively exaggerate the topic of energy dependence and diversification of supplies, another one will not interfere with them
Energy source. The sun in the Sahara shines twice as intense than on the northern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore the cost of energy developed here will be lower than. That is, the project is primarily beneficial to investors – you need to spend only $ 6 billion.
They want to start the construction of solar power plants in 2018, stretch the first underwater cable to Malta in 2021, in a year to start supplying electricity to Italy, and by 2024 to get to France. It sounds ambitious, but the catch is the technical partner Tunur, Nur Energie, so far has built only two modest objects in the field of solar energy. Is it possible for her such a large project?
But the biggest problem lies in Tunisia itself, where many residents see in what is happening only a legalized attempt to take their land to their hands, with its resources. Let it be only about the desert and the ruthless scorching sun – now Western capital considers this value and seeks to usurp the right to dispose of them. Is it really necessary to Europe electricity from sugar, the tenth business.
