Mauritania will launch a bidding process in two weeks’ time for a 550 MW gas-fuelled power plant linked to the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) liquefied natural gas project. The new power project will be developed and financed through a public-private partnership (PPP).

AG&P has intensified talks with private developers of LNG facilities that can deliver 5 to 20 MW of decentralised power. “The rule-of-thumb for LNG is $1 million/MW for small-scale projects,” president Albert D. Altura said commented.
