Technical FAQs 4

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.

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 .

Where does Namibia's electricity come from?

28% of Namibia's generated electricity come from fossil fuels, while 64% are from hydropower, and about 8% come from renewables . Non-electricity off-grid renewable energy projects include the small/ micro wind energy installations used for water pumping, which are very common in Namibia, especially on farms.

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.
