The Tataouine Solar PV project site spans 200 hectares, including 160 ha for PV module arrays, 4 ha for inverter stations, 1.3 ha for the main substation, 0.2 ha for the office/O&M building, 4.5 ha for drainage, 2 ha for roads, and 28 ha for unused/buffer area.

The concession for the Project was awarded in 2019 following a competitive tender to a consortium coordinated and led on an operational day-to-day basis by AMEA Power. The land allocated for the construction of the photovoltaic power plant of Kairouan, with an area of 200 hectares, is part of the private domain of the State. This land is the object of the land title n° 9796/20323 K which covers an area of 7323 hectares 23 ares and 47 centiares in Metbasta, in the delegations of Kairouan Nord and Sbikha, in the governorate of Kairouan, Tunisia.

Contract was awarded in December 2019, an agreement for the development of a 100 Mega Watt (MW) Photo Voltaic (PV) Solar PowerPlant in the governorate of Kairouan, Tunisia.
