Technical FAQs 4

What is PV in the Gambia?

Numerous PV systems are in use across The Gambia for rural off-grid electrifica-tion and water pumping purposes in places unlikely to be reached by the grid. The government and donors have funded most of The Gambia’s PV investments as part of rural energy service projects for health clinics, schools, households and street lighting.

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.

How much does a PV system cost in the Gambia?

Generation costs were used from the latest iReNa study5 as the basis for the cost assumptions for PV systems between USD 3000- 8000/kW. in both cases it was assumed that power is supplied to NaWeC at the current utility tariff of USD 0.28/kWh. The analysis demonstrated a number of important features of PV grid systems in The Gambia.

How will interconnected power infrastructure affect rural energy services in the Gambia?

The effect of a highly interconnected power infrastructure on rural energy services in The Gambia is uncertain, as most people will continue to rely on decentralised systems.
