Who can develop small power generation facilities in Namibia?
Parties interested in developing small power generation facilities may also look to some of Namibia’s Regional Energy Distributors (REDs). Some REDs are looking to develop their own – albeit limited – generation capacity. Partnering with a RED familiar with the ECB’s IPP framework might result in faster project implementation.
Can Namibia become a net exporter of energy?
Over the long-term, the government and NamPower have committed to making Namibia energy self-sufficient (and eventually a net exporter of power) by building new domestic generation capacity. NamPower has made some progress in efforts to increase its generation capacity.
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.
Does Namibia accept unsolicited power generation projects?
The Electricity Control Board (ECB), Namibia’s electricity regulator, accepts unsolicited power generation projects through its IPP framework. The Minister of Mines and Energy has final authority to approve/refuse IPP licenses, but the ECB makes recommendations on license applications, which the Minister has historically followed.
Why is Namibia not getting enough electricity?
Namibia’s domestic electricity supply has failed to keep pace with rising demand, and Namibia generates less than half of the energy it consumes.
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 , 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.
