The regulation of the electricity sector falls under the purview of PURA. Following the approval of the National Energy Policy in 2005, and the enactment of the Electricity Act, the electricity sector in The Gambia has seen significant improvements. The monopoly NAWEC (National Water and Electricity Company) earlier enjoyed in the generation of electricity ended with the opening of the generationmarket to the private sector. NAWEC, however still maintains its monopoly status in the distribution and transmission sectors.
