6 FAQs about [Namibia power generation energy storage and frequency regulation]

Does Namibia have electricity?

According to the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey of 2015/16, the country has a national electrification rate of approximately 45%. This means that more than half of Namibia’s population does not reap the benefits of having access to electrical energy.

How does Namibia manage energy resources?

In the past, Namibia opted for a model whereby the Government, through the MME (as the country’s overall custodian of energy) budget allocations, in collaboration with NamPower, the REDs and select local government entities, delivered such services as and when funding was available.

What is Namibia's electricity industry structure?

An overview of Namibia’s electricity industry structure is provided in Annexure B. The MME has the primary responsibility to implement the National Electrification Policy. It is the institutional anchor that coordinates all matters relating to national electrification. Where appropriate, the MME delegates activities to other entities.

Do Namibian electricity utilities have a grid?

Contemporary Namibian electricity utilities are almost exclusively focused on grid-connected operations, and their underlying business is centred on operating grid infrastructure. To date, more than half of Namibia’s population does not benefit from access to electricity.

How many people in Namibia have solar power?

The Namibia: Geospatial Least Cost Electrification Plan of 2021 estimates that about 50% of Namibian households had access to grid-based or MTF Tier 3 solar home system-based electricity services in 2019. Informal areas around urban centres (i.e. peri-urban areas) are rapidly expanding.

Are Namibia's energy policies advancing national electrification efforts?

Legally, Namibia’s energy policies are clear about advancing national electrification efforts. In practice, however, numerous barriers continue to exist, which prevent a more pronounced roll-out of electrification projects.
