Gambia: Bill to promote renewable energy approvedA Bill that seeks to establish the legal, economic and institutional basis to promote the use of renewable energy resources was unanimously approved on December 12, 2013, by The Gambia's 53-member unicameral National Assembly during the fourth meeting of the 2013 Legislative year. The Gambia currently depends heavily on the use of wood and charcoal and fossil fuel to meet its energy requirements. Electricity generation in the country is mainly dependent on imported fossil fuel (heavy fuel oil and diesel), which is the most expensive mode of electricity generation. On the contrary, the West African country has a lot of renewable energy resources such as the sun, wind and bio-energy, which if properly harnessed and effectively utilised would help increase the access rate to modern energy, which is a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly source of fossil fuel.
