NAMIBIA ADVANCES ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE WITH BATTERY PROJECT
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal
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.
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.
As a result, our annual solar irradiation reaches values from 2 200 to 2 400 kWh/m2. To put this into perspective, the amount of sunlight received by only one square metre of Namibian land over a year holds the energy equivalent to powering a significant portion—around 20-24%—of a typical household's annual energy needs.
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.
