Banjul, The Gambia– Karpowership has connected its 36 MW Karadeniz Powership Koray Bey to the Gambian national grid. The Powership, which arrived in Banjul in March this year, finalized all commissioning protocols and Commercial Operation has now been achieved to the satisfaction of both parties. This will significantly help ameliorate the power supply in the country.
