The Boulenouar Wind Power Project involves construction of a large-scale wind farm of 100 MW installed capacity located in Boulenouar, 80 km north of Nouadhibou, the second-largest city in the northern part of the coastal region of Mauritania. The project is set to create a demonstration effect as the first major wind project in the Sahel.
