Description: The objective of the project is to optimize existing mini-grids in Mauritania by increasing the share of Renewable Energy (RE) and developing an appropriate business model for the sustainability of the hybrid system. This project is well aligned with: i) the Mauritanian Government’s efforts to promote energy access and promote clean energies; and ii) the country’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper III (PRSP 2011-2015) goals to increase the share of renewables in national electricity generation and energy access.
