The findings of this study indicate that a significant portion of Mauritania’s land area is highly suitable for solar PV and wind development, with a maximum development potential of approximately 457.9 gigawatts (GW) and 47 GW for solar PV and wind projects, respectively.
The land utilisation factor for project develop-ment has been set to 1%, which translates into a drop in development potential to approximately 457.9 GW and 47 GW for solar PV and wind projects.

It suggests a maximum development potential of approximately 457.9 and 47 gigawatts (GW) for solar PV and wind projects, respectively, taking into consideration an installation density of 50 megawatts (MW) per square kilometre for solar PV, 5 MW per square kilometre for wind and a land utilisation factor of 1%.
The results obtained indicate that 23% and 18.5% of the total country land area is suitable for solar PV and wind project development, respectively (i.e. suitability index exceeding 60%). These areas are largely located in the northern and eastern parts of the country, far from the population centres in the west and south of the country.
However, the combined development potential in areas surrounding the main cities of Nouadhibou, Kifa, Nouakchott and Zoihérat, considering the same assumptions, is estimated at approximately 11.2 GW for solar PV and 1.12 GW for wind.
In line with the post-RRA process, Mauritania’s Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines requested IRENA’s support in May 2019 to undertake a suitability assessment to map potential areas for utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind projects.
