Gambia News: Guinea Bissau to receive electricity from Gambia River Development

Aug 29,2007 by

small font medium font large font
gambia River Gambia Basin Development Organization (OMVG) will henceforth supply 8 percent of its electricity production to Guinea Bissau, or the equivalent of 42 percent of the country's energy needs, OMVG's executive secretary Justin Vieira has said.

"The distribution quotas established between the four member countries stipulates that Guinea Bissau should get 8 percent of OMVG electricity production, to cover 42 percent of its energy needs," Vieira is quoted as saying Monday by Pan-African News Agency (PANA).

The commissioning of the two dams to be constructed before the year 2012 in the Senegalese region of Sanbangalo along River Gambia, and Guinea Bissau's region of Koletan along River Konkoure will stabilize the shortage of electricity in the four OMVG member states, namely, Gambia, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau and Senegal.

In total, about 15 transformers will be constructed in Guinea Bissau to facilitate the transportation and distribution of electricity across the country.

The government has already formulated an emergency program which it expects to submit shortly to the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) for financing.

This program, whose total financial amount is yet to be announced, is expected to enable the construction of two electricity power stations in Guinea Bissau
