The key highlights of the agreement include ensuring Cross-Border Synergy between the two countries.
It would also allow NAWEC to import a significant 205GWh annually from Guinea Conakry, a substantial stride in bolstering energy resources and cooperation.
Commenting on the agreement, Minister Jobe said the agreement aligned with the shared commitment to regional development and sustainable energy practices.
On his part, Prime Minister Dr Bernard Goumou expressed optimism, stating, “This agreement signifies the strengthening friendship between our nations and a shared dedication to advancing energy solutions for our people.”
The collaboration between NAWEC and EDG is poised to deepen the bilateral ties between The Gambia and Guinea Conakry, fostering a cooperative approach to addressing the energy needs of both nations.
As NAWEC and EDG embark on this transformative journey, the addendum reflects a collective commitment to an interconnected and sustainable energy landscape.
This landmark partnership heralds a step towards a future when energy knows no boundaries, benefitting citizens on both sides of the border.
