PRESS RELEASE
Dear valued customers
In October 2022, NAWEC applied for a tariff revision for both water and electricity services. The utilities Regulator (PURA) has approved an increase in tariffs for electricity and water, this decision was made following a lengthy review and consultation process. The increase is necessary to cover the rising costs of production, maintenance, and upgrades, and to ensure that we can continue to provide you with water and electricity services.
These changes are the first real increase in the tariffs since 2015 and reflect global increases in fuel price, high costs of raw materials, and essential parts for the generation of electricity and supply of safe clean water. In addition to meeting the global increase in the cost of materials and fuel costs the tariff increase will allow us to invest in the maintenance of the water and electricity infrastructure and further enhance the quality and reliability of these services that are the pillars of economic and social development in The Gambia. Information on the price changes can be found on our website www.nawec.gm.
We value your feedback, and we will continue to engage with you, our valued customers, through various communication channels: social media, radio, and TV. We are committed to addressing your concerns. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to working with you to build a brighter more sustainable future for all the people of The Gambia.
Thank You
