6 FAQs about [The Gambia solidenergy systems]

What type of energy system does the Gambia have?

The Gambia has a dual energy system containing co-existing traditional and modernised energy systems and practices. On the one hand, traditional biomass fuels and inefficient technologies dominate household energy needs. On the other, a modernised energy system uses electricity and more refined fuels as well as modern appliances.

Is re a solution to energy problems in the Gambia?

Policy makers across africa have been among the last to embrace Re as a solu-tion to their energy problems. They are often locked into crisis management on a day-to-day basis. The country’s policy makers need to be persuaded that Re has a real future in the energy mix of The Gambia. They need to demonstrate this by their actions.

Why is energy important in the Gambia?

The availability of adequate, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is a critical milestone in the socio-economic development of any country. While less than half of all households in The Gambia have access to elec-tricity, over 90% are still dependent on solid biomass for cooking and heating. This has intensified poverty.

Does the Gambia have solar energy resources?

The Gambia has significant solar energy resources which can be deployed via solar PV plants, which have become price competitive with thermal plants and attractive for advancing national renewable energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. IRENA (2018) has estimated national solar potential at 428 MW.

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.

Can solar water heating save energy in the Gambia?

Water heating is a major consumer of energy in The Gambia – mainly in hotels, clinics and some households. Significant savings can be made if hotels and other large institutions are able to capitalise on the energy savings opportunities from solar water heating systems, which have been around for several decades.
