GreenGo Energy has signed an agreement to develop the Megaton Moon Green Hydrogen Project in Mauritania. The agreement grants GreenGo Energy access to over 100,000 hectares of land near Nouakchott for the project’s development.
With this, the company has entered the development phase, which includes detailed site and geotechnical surveys, meteorological data collection, and feasibility studies. The full project capacity will feature 6 GW of electrolysis, 6.8 GW of onshore wind, and 6.3 GWp of solar photovoltaic (PV). Phase 1, scheduled for completion by the end of 2029, will deploy 500 MW of electrolysis, 600 MW of onshore wind, and 600 MWp of solar PV.
Denmark-based GreenGo Energy is currently developing and constructing over 35 GW of renewable energy projects, including solar, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and large-scale Power-to-X (PtX) initiatives across nine US states, Europe, and Africa/MENA.
