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.
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.
The Gambia's Electricity Sector Roadmap (2019-2025) aims to scale up electricity generation to 200 MW of available capacity at peak in 2025, with 14MW expected from the OMVG project with Guinea and Senegal, and 50MW from the Souapiti project and the remainder through Independent Power Producers (IPP).
