This article lists power stations in Mauritania. Energy is distributed by the national Mauritania Electricity Company (Somelec). Most energy comes from small, distributed diesel generators, but grid-connected electricity is rapidly increasing, particularly renewable energy due to Mauritania's favorable wind and solar conditions.[1]
Mauritania exports surplus energy to Senegal and Mali,[2] while also benefiting from hydroelectric dams in Mali.[1]
