Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Abdoulie Jobe, the minister of Petroleum and Energy,has disclosed that the president of The Gambia had an agreement with the president of Senegal to share 50 megawatts of electric power with The Gambia to stabilize electricity in the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

The energy minister made this disclosure yesterday while responding to questions from lawmakers on the eight million Euro(\u20ac8,000,000) loan between the Government of The Gambia and the European Investment Bank on the Electricity Restoration and Modernisation Project (GERMP), and on atwenty-four million Euro(\u20ac24,000,000) grant.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, NAWEC has an agreement with Senelec in which they are sharing power at a competitive cost and that has helped in the stabilisation of electricity in the country,\u201d he told deputies.<\/p>\n

The minister said the deal is part of ECOWAS Electricity Generation and Transmission Master Plan agreement which was approved by heads of state in December 2019.<\/p>\n

The objective, he added, is to have one electricity system in the west African region. This encourages other countries with higher energy services to share with others with less, he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are replacing five of the primary transformers in Jabang and Kotu, which are all overloaded. We are also replacing 52 distribution transformers within the Greater Banjul Area, and there are six33KB lines which are going to be constructed from Jabang to connect to Kotu to ensure redundancy in the system,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He further stated that the ECOWAS Regional Electricity Access Project, which has radio of about 100KM from the substation in Brikama and Soma, will provide over 300 communities with electricity.<\/p>\n

He reiterated government\u2019s commitment to stabilising the country\u2019s electricity system.<\/p>\n
