The program will develop solar power plants and establish a 1,373-kilometer high-voltage power line, with a transit capacity of 600 megawatts (MW) between the two countries.

The project will provide rural electrification for 40 localities in south-eastern Mauritania, through the installation of hybrid mini photovoltaic power plants and the construction of connecting lines. The project will also support value-creating activities, especially in the food cold chain and agri-food processing.
Estimates for solar energy and wind energy production in Mauritania vary, but all recent studies agree that Mauritania has enormous potential for both solar and wind energy because of its unique geography.
Driven by this momentum, the country has signed a memorandum of understanding for the implementation of the largest green hydrogen production project in the world, which Mauritania intends to develop in partnership with CWP Global, an Australian renewable energy development company led by an American founder and CEO.
The PIEMM will boost solar energy production and provide access to electricity for more than two million people in Mauritania and Mali, while also enhancing regional integration and trade. The project is financed by a $272 million loan from the African Development Fund, the concessional window of the AfDB, and a $1.5 million grant from the GCF.
This is the largest financing ever granted by the AfDB to Mauritania. The second project, the project to strengthen productive and energy investments for the sustainable development of rural areas (RIMDIR), is a $16 million grant from the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA), a multi-donor trust fund managed by the AfDB.
The financing agreements were signed on Thursday in Nouakchott by Mauritania’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Abdessalam Mohamed Saleh, and the AfDB’s Deputy Managing Director for North Africa, Malinne Blomberg.
The global solar folding container and energy storage container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with portable and outdoor power demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Solar folding container solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new portable solar installations worldwide.
