In Bulgaria, Renewables Now reported that CWP Global has confirmed its commitment to Mauritania following media reports that the company has paused its large-scale green hydrogen project in the country due to a lack of demand at a price that works. CEO Mark Crandall clarified in a LinkedIn post that the speed of the energy transition is uncertain due to a lack of clear and necessary legislation at the global level. With respect to Mauritania, Crandall said the developer is there to stay and commended the local government for its commitment to fostering green energy investments, while noting the country has one of the best wind and solar resources in the world. The company’s teams continue their work, adapting the pace of development to that of the global markets, he added. The report noted that In Mauritania, CWP Global is working on a green hydrogen project called AMAN that could install up to 30 GW of combined wind and solar capacity in phases.
