Unidentified persons have attacked the recently commissioned Jambur Solar Plant in The Gambia, destroying critical infrastructure and disrupting operations.
According to a statement by the National Electricity and Water Company (NAWEC), 36 panel sets, each consisting of 18 solar panels, were cut and disconnected by the unidentified persons who stormed the plant.
NAWEC’s technical teams are assessing the damage and working on recovery plans to restore the system and prevent future incidents.
Investigations are underway to identify those responsible, and security at the site has been reinforced.
NAWEC condemned the incident, urging Gambians to be vigilant and report suspicious activities around power installations.
“We strongly condemn such acts that undermine national development efforts and urge the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities around our installations.
NAWEC remains committed to delivering reliable and sustainable energy for all.
