6 FAQs about [Namibia renergy power]

Will Namibia become a supplier of energy?

Once Namibia has successfully incubated the green hydrogen economy, it will enable the country to become a supplier of energy, rather than an importer.

Can bioenergy be used in Namibia?

Bioenergy from specially cultivated energy crops is out of the question in Namibia due to land competition with food production and water scarcity. The natural potential for hydropower is estimated at 2,250 MW. Of these, 347 MW are already being used from Ruacana hydro-electric power station.

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.

Does Namibia need electricity?

Namibia is heavily dependent on imports for its energy supply. All fossil fuels (coal, fuels) must be imported. Despite the small population and the low electrification rate of 56%, only about 40% of the country’s electricity needs can be met from its own generation capacities.

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.

Who owns the electricity market in Namibia?

Traditionally, the Namibian electricity market has been dominated by the state-owned utility Namibia Power Corporation (Pty) Ltd., or NamPower for short. In the Namibian electricity market, NamPower was responsible for generation, transmission, distri-bution and the trading of electricity as well as supplying the end customer.
