In 2018, the first twin solar PV plants in Namibia were opened in Gobabis in the Omaheke region. Ejuva One and Ejuva Two solar PV each have an installed capacity of 5 MW5. They have the capacity to feed 25.8 GWh into NamPower’s grid each year.
Namibia’s first solar power plant was inaugurated in 2015 through the REFiT system. InnoSun Energy Holdings opened the Omburu Solar PV Park in May with an installed capacity of 4.5 MW, generating 13,500,000 kWh a year. The Park covers 40 hectares and contains more than 33,000 panels.
The plant, which occupies 40 hectares, is designed to supply 67.8 GWh of clean energy annually. Finally, Namibia and Botswana are in the comprehensive Regional Market Study phase of the Mega Solar initiative. The project aims to generate 300-500 MW of solar power in Namibia and Botswana.
There have been five key policies and initiatives guiding the trajectory of Namib-ia’s renewables sector. These are the White Paper on Energy Policy (1998), the Renewable Energy Feed-In Tariff (REFIT) Programme (2011), the National Renewable Energy Policy (2017) and the Namibia Green Hydrogen and Derivatives Strategy (2022).
