6 FAQs about [How much is the gap in new energy batteries in Namibia]
How much does electricity cost in Namibia?
The 2021/22 base electricity price for large consumers (regional electricity suppliers, municipal utilities) and direct NamPower customers is 1.70 Namibia Dollar (NAD)/kWh (approx. 0.10 Euro/kWh). This means that the electricity price has more than doubled since 2011 (0.68 NAD/kWh – approx. 0.04 Euro/kWh).
Who owns the electricity market in Namibia?
Traditionally, the Namibian electricity market has been dominated by the state-owned utility Namibia Power Corporation (Pty) Ltd., or NamPower for short. In the Namibian electricity market, NamPower was responsible for generation, transmission, distri-bution and the trading of electricity as well as supplying the end customer.
Does Namibia need electricity?
Namibia is heavily dependent on imports for its energy supply. All fossil fuels (coal, fuels) must be imported. Despite the small population and the low electrification rate of 56%, only about 40% of the country’s electricity needs can be met from its own generation capacities.
Can Namibia produce green hydrogen?
Namibia would like to position itself internationally as a production location for green hydrogen due to its very good renewable energy potential. Model calculations assume that green hydrogen can be produced for 25 to 33 NAD (ca. 1.50 to 2 Euro) per kilogram in Namibia.
Can bioenergy be used in Namibia?
Bioenergy from specially cultivated energy crops is out of the question in Namibia due to land competition with food production and water scarcity. The natural potential for hydropower is estimated at 2,250 MW. Of these, 347 MW are already being used from Ruacana hydro-electric power station.
How much electricity does Namibia generate per kWp?
Due to the constantly high irradiation, PV systems in Namibia generate twice as much electricity as comparable systems in Germany on an annual average. A daily yield of up to >5.6 kWh can be expected per kWp of installed PV capacity. In comparison, natural conditions for wind power are limited in the region.
