RESEARCH
Understanding The Gambia's energy landscape through data analysis, infrastructure mapping, and resource modeling.
The National Grid
The Gambia's electricity network is primarily centered around the Greater Banjul Area. Our research maps the medium-voltage transmission lines to identify high-loss zones and optimal injection points for renewable generation.
- • High dependency on HFO thermal generation
- • Transmission losses averaging 18-22%
- • Growing demand outpacing supply

Solar Irradiance
The Path Forward
The Gambia has the solar resources to dramatically reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation. With the right policy framework and investment, distributed solar could transform energy access across the country.
Our research identifies key intervention points — from residential rooftops in urban areas to mini-grid opportunities in rural communities — that can accelerate this transition.
