On February 24, the director of SGTP (Société des Grands Travaux Publics) was invited to MEDREC to sign the contract to launch landscaping work on the 10 sites of the photovoltaic water pumping installations planned as part of the REFAT project.

Ten pilot sites located in the REFAT target regions (Gafsa, Sidi Bouzid, Kasserine, Kairouan, and Sousse) were selected by the Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture to benefit from these photovoltaic installations, based on a shortlist drawn up by MEDREC technical experts tasked with visiting the pilot sites and designing the water pumping systems.

One of the main results of these 10 pilot installations will be the avoidance of 2,668 tons of CO2 from direct emissions.
