4 FAQs about [The Gambia grid systems]
Can the Gambia transform the energy sector?
An unprecedented level of support from the international community provides The Gambia with the opportunity to transform the energy sector and emerge as one of the leading energy sectors in the sub-region and the African continent. In this context, the Electricity Roadmap has undergone its third update since 2015.
Should MV grid be strengthened in the Gambia?
Reinforcement of the MV grid from Farafenni or via a cable across the river from Banjul are alternatives that may be considered if the western corridor does not present a viable solution. Transmission developments in The Gambia should be considered in relation to regional options.
Should the Gambia import electricity from Senegal or Cote d'Ivoire?
The most important conclusion from the generation planning is that the least cost option for The Gambia is to import electricity from Senegal and/or Cote d’Ivoire. This conclusion is robust in all scenarios considered.
Does the Gambia need more power generation capacity?
The Gambia’s power sector will soon need additional generation capacity to be able to cover the forecast demand. A gap between available capacity and peak demand is identified from 2022 with the expiration of the Karpower contract and by 2025 nearly 140 MW of new capacity will be needed.
