President Adama Barrow has officially commissioned a 23 MW solar plant in Jambur, The Gambia. This initiative is a significant step forward in the country's ambition to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels and transition towards a greener energy landscape. 🌱🔋

The Jambur solar plant is part of The Gambia's broader strategy to ensure that 50% of its energy mix is derived from renewable sources by 2030. President Barrow emphasized the project's role in demonstrating the country's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and adopting sustainable energy solutions. 🌍♻️

This project is not just a milestone for The Gambia but also sets the stage for a larger vision - a 150 MW regional solar power park, showcasing the ambitious strides being made in the renewable energy sector. The initial 50 MW tender for this park is expected in the second quarter of 2024, marking another significant step towards realizing this vision. ☀️📈

The Jambur solar plant project has garnered support from international partners, including the World Bank, the European Union, and the European Investment Bank. This collaboration highlights the global commitment to fostering sustainable energy solutions and supporting countries in their transition to a more sustainable energy mix.
