6 FAQs about [Namibia Energy Storage Power Generation]
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.
What are the main energy sources in Namibia?
Namibia's top energy sources are petroleum, hydropower, imported electricity, and imported coal . The country's own internal resources supply less than one-third of its needed energy requirements . Namibia has high potential for solar, wind and biomass generation .
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.
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.
