PUBLIC NOTICE – CLEARING OF THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE 225KV TRANSMISSION LINE FROM BRIKAMA POWER STATION TO JABANG SUBSTATION

 

PUBLIC NOTICE

CLEARING OF THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE 225KV TRANSMISSION LINE FROM BRIKAMA POWER STATION TO JABANG SUBSTATION

The Government of The Gambia (GOTG) has received financing from the World Bank to implement the Gambia Electricity Restoration and Modernization Project (GERMP). This Project will construct a 40 meters (20/20m from the center of the line) wide high voltage 225 kV Transmission and Distribution line from Brikama power station to Jabang Substation at the edge of the Salagi Forest Park, where a 225/33 kV substation has been built.

For orientation, the Transmission Line will start at the edge of the Salagi Forest Park and run along the buffer zone of the Forest up to the Forest billboard at Jamwelleh about 1.8 km off the Sukuta-JambangJelly Highway. From the Forest billboard the line will run towards the border between Mariama Kunda and Jabang, Labakoreh, Yuna and Latrya before turning left, crossing the Sukuta-Jambangjelleh Highway toward the Solar Power Plant in Jambur.

The line will go along the Bamba and Nyambai Forest Parks, crossing the Brikama-Serrekunda Highway to the Brikama power plant, where it will be connected to the OMVG substation.

The Government of The Gambia through the Ministry of Lands, Regional Government and Religious Affairs has signed the Declaration of this Right of Way.

Following development of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) a total of 483 Project Affected Persons (PAPs) have been identified to be impacted by the Project. From commencement of the RAP implementation in 2021 to date, a total of 432 PAPs have been compensated. Currently a total of 71 plots of lands are yet to be compensated most of which the owners are still unknown. We encourage those who own properties along this corridor and have seen survey marks on their properties to call the following toll-free number: 1266.

The contractor, TBEA has completed the construction of pylon towers and has mobilized to commence cable stringing work.

By a copy of this notice, we want to inform the general public, especially the property owners and those still staying in their properties within the Right of Way that the contractor will commence clearing the RoW effective 8th of November 2024. This will involve the demolition of all physical structures from Jabang to Brikama Power Station.

We wish to solicit the cooperation of everyone who will be directly and indirectly affected by this exercise.

For any further information, kindly contact the Project’s Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) at the NAWEC-Project Implementation Unit located at Emporium Building, 114 Kairaba Avenue, Kanifing Municipality on 1266 /2584560/ 3392833/ 3845096/ 9963511.
