Saudi renewable energy company ACWA Power has been mandated by the Kingdom’s Ministry of Energy to conduct a feasibility study for the construction of a natural gas pipeline in Mauritania.
The proposed pipeline will transport natural gas from the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim production site to the port of N’Diago for power generation purposes.
The feasibility study also covers the construction of a gas-to-power plant, with the port serving as a distribution point for domestic electricity.
The mandate follows a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in Riyadh between Mauritania and Saudi Arabia on April 29.
The MoU focuses on collaboration in the realms of electricity, energy and clean hydrogen, promoting innovative and sustainable energy cooperation.
