16.6 MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants

The 16.6 MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants project in Mauritania marks a transformative step toward sustainable energy for remote, off-grid communities.

The 16.6 MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants project in Mauritania marks a transformative step toward sustainable energy for remote, off-grid communities. By integrating eight strategically located solar plants with existing diesel generators, the project creates a hybrid solar-diesel system that significantly reduces fuel dependency. This initiative not only ensures a more stable and cleaner energy supply—meeting up to 30% of local electricity demand—but also cuts operational costs and lowers carbon emissions. It exemplifies how renewable energy can empower isolated regions while supporting environmental goals.
