PUBLIC NOTICE 225kV TRANSMISSION LINE

INVITATION TO MEETINGS

 

The Government of The Gambia (GOTG), with financing from the World Bank’s Gambia Electricity Restoration and Modernization Project (GERMP), will construct a High Voltage 225 kV Transmission and Distribution line from Brikama to Jabang, where a 225/33 kV substation will be built on the south-eastern edge of the Salagi Forest Park.

 

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 the “Foni” suburb Jabang/Jamwelleh about 1.4 km off the Sukuta-JambangJelly Highway. From the Forest billboard, the line will turn left and run southward along the boundary between Jabang and Jamwelly (i.e. along the Jabang/Sare Pateh area) to the Koli Kunda suburb of Jabang, about 0.5 km away. At this point the line will turn left approximately 90^o and run about 1.1 km towards Mariama Kunda before turning right and running about 1.9km southwards towards Yuna crossing the earth road going to Labakoreh. From there, the Line slightly turns right again and runs south for 2.6km along the border between Latrya (passing only 100 metres from the Lariya Lower Basic School) and Jabang, 600 meters from the Sukuta-Jambajelly highway. The line will also cross the cashew garden belonging to one Binta Silva in Latrya to the western edges of Jambur.

 

From there it turns left crossing the Sukuta-Jambangjelleh Highway, 200 metres from the Jambur roundabout, and running towards the proposed Solar Power Plant in Jambur.

 

The line will then run along the northern sides of the Bamba and Nyambai Forest Parks crossing the Brikama-Serrekunda Highway to the Brikama power plant.
