NamPower, Namibia''s state-owned power utility, has signed a contract with a Chinese joint venture to build the first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the country and
Key contracts have been signed for the first-ever grid-scale battery storage project in Namibia, signifying the African country''s dedication to modernising its energy infrastructure,
Its design allows for a discharge capacity of 72MWh of energy into the Namibian grid. The BESS is expected to store "locally generated renewable power as well as electricity imported from
Besides facilitating the integration of large-scale renewable energy in Namibia''s generation mix, the battery storage system will also help reduce imports, improve grid stability
As southern Africa''s first mover in grid-scale storage, Namibia''s not just solving its own energy puzzle. They''re creating a replicable model for the continent''s $12B storage market – and
One of the most important inputs for economic growth is an abundance of reliable, affordable energy and Namibia is increasingly coming under pressure to deliver a power supply that
In Namibia, one of the largest electricity storage systems in southern Africa is currently being built – financed with a grant from KfW. Namibia has great potential for solar and wind energy, but
Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower) has selected a Chinese team of Shandong Electrical Engineering & Equipment Group Company and Zhejiang Narada Power Source Company to
Namibia is not yet self-sufficient, but the combination of grid-scale storage and transmission expansion is laying the foundation for a more resilient and renewable-driven
