I have just returned from an intensive session on energy issues in London.  Every six months we bring together top Tunisian decision-makers on energy issues with British companies operating in the energy sector. This gives our companies first-hand insights into the strategic thinking of the Tunisian government and and ensures the Tunisian side know exactly what the UK can offer. In the past, discussions of this sort have centred on oil and gas. Those remain important and our engagement in both is expanding. But this week's talks involved just as much discussion of opportunities to use renewable sources of energy, on which the Tunisian government has ambitious plans. Tunisia has plenty of sun, strong winds, biomas and industrial waste products that can be turned into energy. And the UK has expertise in all these. The UK line-up was: Shell, BG , International Power, Clarke Energy, Petrofac, Pure Energy Centre, Senergy and Nur Energy.
