Get a quoteIn 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.
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.
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. This requires Namibia’s bolstering its own energy generation capacity with the available domestic resources.
The Namibian Energy Institute in collaboration with NUST and SOLTRAIN developed a Solar Thermal Technology Roadmap for Namibia, which highlights the potential for solar thermal among various end-use segments as depicted in Figure 7. (NEI, 2015).
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).
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
