The wind power plant in the northern town of Boulenouar will also significantly increase the share of the country’s energy mix. The significant share of renewable energy in Mauritania’s total energy portfolio is impressive, especially compared to other countries on the continent.
39 Siemens-Gamesa turbines, each with rated capacity of 2.625 megawatts. Is a major development project in Mauritania, aimed at providing renewable energy to the country. The power station is the largest wind power plant in Mauritania, with a capacity of 102.375 MW.
The power station is the largest wind power plant in Mauritania, with a capacity of 102.375 MW. The wind farm consists of 39 turbines manufactured by Siemens-Gamesa, each with a capacity of 2.625 megawatts. The power station is owned by of the German conglomerate Siemens and the Spanish wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa.
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.
Renewable Energy Opportunities for Mauritania finds that the country could deploy these resources at scale to generate low-cost renewable electricity and hydrogen through electrolysis.
This could kickstart the transformation of Mauritania’s energy sector, helping to close gaps in access to electricity and deliver strong economic and social benefits to the Mauritanian people. However, much more investment is needed, as is increased cooperation between both domestic and international stakeholders.
