The objectives of the new TEI include supporting the development of green energy infrastructure, fostering job creation, contributing to skills development, and consolidating the legal and fiscal framework.

“With its sun and wind, Mauritania has a vast renewable energy potential. The EU fully shares its ambition to develop as a hub for green hydrogen,” Von der Leyen stated.
