UAE installs eight solar energy plants in Mauritania

ABU DHABI.- The UAE has helped double Mauritania’s clean energy capacity by delivering and installing eight new rural solar energy plants. The plants, sponsored by Masdar, will supply an additional 16.6 megawatts of electricity, which will power about 39,000 homes and save 27,850 tonnes of carbon emissions per year. Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, president of Mauritania, inaugurated the projects in the city of Atar, one of the sites of the eight photovoltaic power plants, at an event coinciding with Mauritania’s National Day on November 28 and UAE National Day on December 2. Also present was Essa Abdulla Massoud Al Kalbani, the UAE ambassador to the country, and representatives from Masdar.
