Why is a solar power plant important in the Gambia?
H.E. Corrado Pampaloni, Ambassador of the European Union to The Gambia, stated that this solar power plant is particularly important for the Gambia as it is part of the 'Gambia Electricity Restoration and Modernization Project' and contributes to a swift transition towards solar power and clean energy supply across the country.
Will a new solar plant increase energy demand in the Gambia?
Energy demand in The Gambia has increased by 5.5% per year in recent years. The new 23 MWp solar plant will significantly increase Gambia's current generation capacity of 98 MW and enable electrification of rural areas. A strong commitment
What is the current energy generation capacity of the Gambia?
The Gambia's current generation capacity is 98 MW. Energy demand in The Gambia has increased by 5.5% per year in recent years and today’s connection of the new 23 MWp solar plant to the national energy grid will significantly increase this capacity.
Will the Gambia achieve universal access to electricity by ?
The Gambia aims to achieve Universal Access to electricity by , as stipulated by H.E President Adama Barrow. NAWEC will implement this goal primarily through its grid infrastructure, benefiting from the country's favourable geography.
Does the European Investment Bank support a new solar plan in Gambia?
Mr. Ambroise Fayolle, Vice-President at the European Investment Bank (EIB), stated that he is delighted that the European Investment Bank is supporting this new solar plan with such economic and social impact for populations in Gambia, particularly in rural areas.
What is an indispensable element for The Gambia's future?
