The Gambia Gets Most of Its Electricity from a Turkish Ship
Notes on The Gambia – Matt LakemanIt’s true. In 2018, The Gambia signed a deal with a Turkish power company, Karpower, to provide 30 megawatts (or 36) of electricity to the nation. I have no idea what 30 megawatts means, but it’s the equivalent to 2.5% of the electricity needed to power a time traveling car. At the time, The Gambia produced 70 megawatts from “some old generators” and needed 110 megawatts to cover the whole population. According to Karpower’s website, its ship currently supplies 60% of The Gambia’s electricity.
