Title:
Mauritania - Desert to Power Initiative - 225 KV Mauritania-Mali Power Interconnection and Related Solar Power Plants Development Project
Detail:
The Multinational – Desert to Power Initiative – 225 kV Mauritania-Mali Power Interconnection and Related Solar Power Plants Development Project (PIEMM) is adopted by the Republic of Mali and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania in the context where the electricity sub-sectors in both countries faces significant challenges, including (i) a low electricity access rate; (ii) an electricity supply-demand gap; and (iii) a marked predominance of fossil fuel-based power generation in the energy mix. PIEMM will comprise three components: (A) Construction of Electrical Infrastructure; (B) Institutional Support; and (C) Project Management. It will be implemented over seven (7) years, from January 2024 to December 2030. This project primarily contributes to climate mitigation results. As such, 88% of the total approved amount is attributed as climate finance, of which 100% is dedicated to mitigation.
