African Energy Week (AEW) 2025: Mauritania Energy Minister to Showcase Investment-Ready Projects

Cape Town: Invest in African Energies 2025 is set to take place from September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town, where Mauritania’s Energy Minister will promote the country’s expanding portfolio of energy projects and highlight significant opportunities available to global investors.

According to African Press Organization, following the commencement of production at the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) LNG project earlier this year, Mauritania is entering a new phase of energy-driven economic transformation. At AEW 2025, Minister Khaled is expected to spotlight the country’s strategic ambitions across both natural gas and green hydrogen sectors. He will emphasize Mauritania’s investor-friendly regulatory environment and international partnership potential.

Developed by bp and Kosmos Energy in collaboration with national oil companies SMH (Mauritania) and Petrosen (Senegal), the GTA development represents one of Africa’s most promising LNG ventures. Phase one is set to produce 2.3 million tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG, with a planned second phase to increase capacity to over 5 mtpa. Backed by over 425 billion cubic meters of gas reserves, GTA will serve as a long-term supply source for international markets, particularly Europe, while delivering substantial revenue, job creation, and infrastructure benefits for Mauritania.

Minister Khaled’s participation at AEW 2025 is a statement of Mauritania’s dedication to leveraging its energy resources for long-term economic transformation. As the country advances both LNG production and green hydrogen development, his engagement with global industry leaders and investors will be key to attracting the capital, technology, and partnerships needed to turn Mauritania into a regional energy hub, states NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.

AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers, and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit www.AECWeek.com for more information about this event.
