Tunis — A vast sensitization campaign destined to raise awareness on energy consumption will soon be launched in Tunisia.

The campaign which involves the airing of daily one minute radio and TV spots, the publication of articles and the distribution of some 1 million leaflets testifies to Tunisia's concern in monitoring energy consumption and in opting for renewable energies.

Every April 7, Tunisia celebrates the National Day of Energy. One of the highlights of the 2010 edition will consist in the handing of the Presidential prize for the year 2009 and the organization of the month dedicated to saving electric light bulbs. The month of solar energy, in addition to an exhibition on renewable energies, are also on the agenda.

On April 7, The National Agency for Energy monitoring will also organize a media forum aiming at making better known the different results achieved by the energy monitoring program
