Mauritania has taken a major step in its clean energy transition by signing a $300 million agreement with Ewa Green Energy to build a 220 MW hybrid power facility, anchored by a 160 MW solar PV plant combined with a 370 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
In 2020, 47% of the population had access to electricity. For electricity access, the country targets universal access in urban areas and doubling of the current rate in rural areas by 2024, with country-wide universal access by 2030.
Mauritania, a country blessed with abundant solar and wind resources, is rapidly adopting lithium battery packs to stabilize its renewable energy systems.

The process of converting solar energy into electricity involves the use of photovoltaic cells, which absorb sunlight, trigger the photovoltaic effect to generate an electric current, convert the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) using a solar inverter, and supply.
NOUAKCHOTT, March 27, 2025 - The World Bank Group today approved the Mauritania Development of Energy Resources and Mineral Sector Support Project —known as the DREAM Project —to boost green hydrogen development, expand energy storage, and support critical reforms in the mining sector.
Battery System: Lithium iron phosphate batteries (48V/155200AH) with extended charge/discharge cycle life. FSU Monitoring Unit: EMS-B2010 for energy management and monitoring.
Project Purpose This project in Mauritania, Africa, delivers integrated power solutions for 7 local communication base stations. Without grid support, it uses an off-grid system—combining photovoltaic power, energy storage and diesel generators—to keep base.
