Namibia energy renewable solutions

What is Namibia's green energy future?

The home of those who unlock Namibia’s Green Energy Future. A country with an abundance of renewable energy sources, yet still over-reliant on energy imports. This opportunity points to a potential future which is filled with various decentralized renewable energy solutions powering Namibia’s development and growth.

Does Namibia have a solar power plant?

The government, the ECB, and NamPower have all expressed interest in grid-connected solar and wind renewable solutions, and in May 2015, Namibia inaugurated its first-ever solar power plant – a 4.5 MW plant – which represents one percent of the country’s current production of energy.

Can Namibia generate energy from renewable sources?

With ample sunshine and wind resources (on the coast), Namibia has the capability to generate significant energy from renewable sources.

What will NamPower do for Namibia?

NamPower will be able to maintain pace with evolving and increasing electricity needs of the country. The line will be key to unlocking increased access to variable renewable energy (VRE) within Namibia, as well as facilitate regional electricity trading.

How will solar power benefit Namibia?

The generation of solar power will complement Namibia’s available green energy portfolio, such as hydro-electricity, which already constitutes more than two-thirds of our installed power capacity. Electrifying key parts of our economy and of our neighbours will spur unprecedented economic activity and growth for Namibia and Southern Africa.

Can Namibia become a green energy supplier?

Already, our country is home to the largest desalination plant in Southern Africa, meaning that the conditions for producing abundant clean water in a desert country are conducive. Once Namibia has successfully incubated the green hydrogen economy, it will enable the country to become a supplier of energy, rather than an importer.
