The conference proceedings and discussions will be held both in English and French, with simultaneous translations. Mauritania already increased power generation threefold since 2000. Electricity demand has, indeed, been growing at an average of 10% since 2000, mainly due to mining and other industrial operations. Electricity generation in Mauritania is mainly of thermal origin, with a strategic plan in progress so as to diversify the mix and reach 20% of renewables by 2020. Such a transition continues to be mainly driven by solar and wind resources. The country still faces barriers concerning the connection to the grid, which remains quite limited due to geographical and demographic factors. The development of renewable energy in the country is facilitated by the existing electricity network of mini-grids. The National Industrial and Mining Company (SNIM) is the second largest producer of electricity in the country after SOMELEC, producing electricity to satisfy mining activities. The country has significant renewable energy potential, both in wind and solar - with a clear renewable energy plan, this is opening new opportunities for technology transfer, partnership and foreign investment in the sector.
