Improving the energy efficiency of the water infrastructure of the National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC), Gambia

Operational efficiency

The power consumption of NAWEC's water infrastructure in the urban area of Banjul is very high. The associated costs contribute to its financial losses, unreliable service, and the weakening of the company’s institutional autonomy. Promoting energy efficiency is a key objective of this project's financing by the World Bank.

Our solution

NAWEC entrusted Seureca with a detailed energy audit of the drinking water supply, distribution, and treatment system in the urban area of Banjul, with the objective of:

  • identifying and assessing opportunities to improve energy efficiency;
  • managing hydraulic and electrical loads;
  • implementing renewable energy options (potential energy production in wastewater treatment plants, gravity networks or solar power);
  • defining specific energy efficiency and water saving measures
