Tunisia's state utility STEG has authorised the use of home battery storage systems with hybrid inverters for residential and business customers to help manage power outages caused by increased electricity demand during a severe heatwave.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now offer home battery storage solutions legally in Tunisia, creating a new demand path as the grid can no longer meet peak cooling needs. Act quickly to connect with solar owners seeking reliable backup amid rising outages.
