GAMBIA
IN THE DARK

Turning blackouts into data.

We record when the power goes off and when it comes back in each monitored area. Nothing is guessed. We don't estimate. We record.

The cost of blackouts

Blackouts cost money, food and work

Generator fuel, spoiled food, damaged fridges, lost trading hours and shut water pumps. We show recorded outage hours and clearly marked estimates of what they cost.
