5 FAQs about [Ongrid and offgrid solar Mauritania]

Why should Mauritania invest in wind & solar energy?

Mauritania has high-quality wind and solar resources whose large-scale development could have catalytic effects in supporting the country to deliver universal electricity access to its citizens and achieve its vision for sustainable economic development.

Could Mauritania's high-quality wind and solar resources be a catalyst for economic growth?

The sustainable development of Mauritania’s high-quality wind and solar resources could serve as a catalyst for the country to achieve its vision of strong and inclusive economic growth, according to a new IEA report published today.

What is the land utilisation factor for solar projects in Mauritania?

The land utilisation factor for project develop-ment has been set to 1%, which translates into a drop in development potential to approximately 457.9 GW and 47 GW for solar PV and wind projects. Figure 9. Utility-scale solar PV: Most suitable prospecting areas in Mauritania Source: Base map (OpenStreetMap); suitability scoring and areas (IRENA).

Does Mauritania have a pipeline of renewable hydrogen projects?

Mauritania currently has the largest pipeline of renewable hydrogen projects to 2030 in sub-Saharan Africa. However, successfully implementing these projects is conditional on attracting sufficient investment, which in turn depends on reducing risk by securing demand from foreign offtakers.

Could renewable generation capacity improve Mauritania's mining operations?

The report’s analysis finds that expanding renewable generation capacity in Mauritania could improve the sustainability of mining operations, which currently represent close to a quarter of the country’s GDP. These operations are energy-intensive, and mines currently rely predominantly on fossil fuels for their electricity supply.
