Technically it is described as Onshore. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
Mauritania has 1 wind power plant in this dataset, together about 30 MW of capacity.
