ACWA Power has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Tunisian Government to explore a significant green hydrogen project.

The agreement, representing Tunisia’s Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy, was signed by Minister Fatma Thabet Chiboub and ACWA Power CEO Marco Arcelli.

The ambitious project aims to produce up to 600,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen across three phases for export to Europe.

ACWA Power, the world’s largest private water desalination company and a pioneer in the space of green hydrogen, will develop, operate, and maintain 12GW of renewable energy electricity generation units, storage systems, transmission lines, a water desalination plant, electrolysers, and related infrastructure.
