- Provides about 7.2% of Tunisia's operating oil & gas capacity and roughly 6.7% of all operating power capacity in the country in the dataset.
- Gas-fired plants — especially combined-cycle units — provide flexible output that can ramp quickly to balance demand and variable renewables, so their availability is closely tied to gas supply and prices.
