Purpose This Report presents a Literature Review and Assessment of Regulatory Requirements related to energy storage systems of relevance to Namibia''s electricity industry.
Government recognises the importance of electricity wheeling for the growth of Renewable Energy in Namibia in its further development of the electricity market framework. The Regulator shall consider the development of wheeling regulations that enable Renewable Energy projects (e.g. community solar initiatives).
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).
Namibia's domestic electricity supply has failed to keep pace with rising demand, and Namibia generates less than half of the energy it consumes.
Currently, Namibia's installed generation capacity is in the order of ~500 MW, while its demand is approximately 600 MW. The gap is made up by electricity imports. In order to be energy-secure, Namibia needs to be energy-independent, given the risks in power supply within the SADC region.
