The project was inaugurated in December, only eleven month after start of construction works – a unique fast track implementation period, given the remote locations and difficult circumstances in Mauretania and the entire region. 

The eight sites are located in secondary towns and the PV plants serve isolated mini grids within small villages. In total, 16.6 MW have been installed, ranging from 1 MW to 3.4 MW per site. All sites are or will be fitted with diesel engines as well to serve electrical power even after sunset. One site is also equipped with a small-scale wind park.
