"In 2017, a shining symbol of progress was launched in Toujounine, north of the capital of Nouakchott. This 50 MW solar energy plant, funded by both the Mauritanian government and the Arabic Fund for Economic and Social Development with a $53 million investment, is made up of 540 panels and a 33-kVA transformation station. The plant not only expands access to electricity in the country, but also promotes the use of clean, green energy. Let's celebrate this step towards a sustainable future."
