Sodium-sulfur (NAS) battery storage manufacturer NGK Insulators has formed new partnerships in Japan aimed at both the distributed and utility
The project will finance Mauritania's first large-scale battery energy storage facility, enabling the country to harness its abundant solar and wind resources for more reliable electricity. This investment is critical to the success of Mauritania's Mission 300 Energy Compact, which aims to achieve universal access to electricity by 2030.
“This project will position Mauritania as a leader in critical minerals, green hydrogen and energy storage, —driving job creation and expanding economic opportunities for all Mauritanians,” said Demetrios Papathanasiou, Global Director for Energy & Extractives at the World Bank.
Mauritania has high-quality wind and solar resources whose large-scale development could have catalytic effects in supporting the country to deliver universal electricity access to its citizens and achieve its vision for sustainable economic development.
It also enables Mauritania to develop its mineral sector in ways that reduce pollution, improve governance, and benefit communities. The World Bank is partnering with GIZ, the European Union, UNDP, and AFD to mobilize funding and expertise that align with the country's energy goals.
