That''s exactly what''s happening in Mauritania''s power plant energy storage project, a game-changer for renewable energy in Africa. As global energy storage becomes a $33 billion industry [1], this West African nation is rewriting the rules of desert power.
This new IEA report – the first focusing on Mauritania – explores the potential benefits to Mauritania of developing its renewable energy options and includes an analysis of the water requirements of hydrogen and the potential for expanding potable water availability through seawater desalination.
The project''s key components include the construction of the country''s first large-scale battery-based electricity storage facility, which will enable Mauritania to fully harness its abundant solar and wind resources, ensuring a more reliable and sustainable electricity supply.
The project will finance Mauritania’s first large-scale battery energy storage facility, enabling the country to harness its abundant solar and wind resources for more reliable electricity. This investment is critical to the success of Mauritania’s Mission 300 Energy Compact, which aims to achieve universal access to electricity by 2030.
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.
“This project will position Mauritania as a leader in critical minerals, green hydrogen and energy storage, —driving job creation and expanding economic opportunities for all Mauritanians,” said Demetrios Papathanasiou, Global Director for Energy & Extractives at the World Bank.
Mauritania also possesses significant potential for harnessing wind energy. The country is blessed with strong and continuous wind most days of the year, with an average wind speed of 7 meters per second. This makes it ideal for both onshore and offshore wind farm development.
Mauritania is poised to become a significant global producer of natural gas and a leading player in Africa. With estimated gas reserves of 1400 billion cubic meters, the country has the potential to become a major supplier in the global market.
