Tunisia Seeks Compensation From Zenith Energy

Radio Orient Tunis 12d12d Impact 5

A 100-megawatt energy project in Tunisia failed to attract bidders because no companies participated in the open offer. External financing from France, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates is available with interest rates not exceeding 4 percent. The Tunisian Parliament has approved an agreement to produce electricity from solar energy to enhance national energy security. Tunisia won the first case but lost the second, leading to the third case being referred to the World Bank International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. A ruling from the arbitration council appears to have been issued in 2026. The dispute with Zenith Energy dates back to 2018 and involves rights held by the company. The specific nature of the initial conflict remains part of a long-standing dispute. The Tunisian side is seeking compensation following the developments in the dispute.
