Technical FAQs 4

How much solar energy does Namibia generate a year?

With approx. 300 sunny days and over 3,000 sun hours per year, the annual solar irradiation reaches values of 2,200 to 2,400 kWh/m2. Due to the constantly high irradiation, PV systems in Namibia generate twice as much electricity as comparable systems in Germany on an annual average.

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.

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.

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.
