Mauritania boasts a strategic geographic location, spanning over one million square kilometers with a 754-kilometer coastline. Despite its predominantly arid desert landscape, Mauritania possesses a wealth of renewable energy resources (solar, wind and wave) , as well as natural gas fields in its offshore territory.
A major investment in wind energy infrastructure in Mauritania could not only provide a significant source of renewable energy for the country, but also make a significant contribution to global efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
Investing in Mauritania can offer a wide range of opportunities, particularly in the energy sector. With major gas discoveries and large-scale renewable energy projects in development, the country is poised for significant growth in this area.
Mauritania's 754 km coastline on the Atlantic Ocean provides a unique opportunity for harnessing wave energy. The average wave power along the coast is 17.5 kW/m, making it an ideal location for wave energy technology.
