Namibia: New Energy Solutions for Namibia

It really is widely believed that Maltahohe, namibia, together with the rest of SADC area, is heading for an electrical power shortage from 2016, once the power purchasing agreement along with Eskom ends.

Eskom is actually struggling to meet South Africa's demand and is unlikely to resume power-purchasing agreements with its nearby neighbours.

Namibian Engineering Corporation (NEC) believes the "energy crisis" that Namibia is started toward could be avoided when the right projects are backed and incentives provided towards the private sector.

Nampower ought to enter into 25-year power-purchasing contracts with multiple private flower operators. These plants ought to be 1-10 MW each, possessed by Namibians and generate clean, cost-effective and local energy. These plants could be photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind parks or even bush-to-gas power plants, almost all powered by renewable energy resources found in Namibia.

As non-renewable fuels are becoming more expensive and more difficult to come by, renewable power vegetation on the other hand, have a constant electrical energy production price and will turn out to be cheaper than fossil energy power stations in just a couple of years (and already are, if a few fuel types are compared).

To "store" the energy through the renewable power stations across the nation, Nampower could spend the fraction of the money prepared for Kudugas, to repair the sluice gate in the Calueque dam in the Kunene river in Angola. This could provide the optimal solution to possess constant and permanent strength from Ruacana (clean as well as renewable), right through the year.
