4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Namibia solar module exports"

Why is Namibia so dependent on imported electricity?

Namibia is highly dependent on imports to meet its electricity needs, with the share of imported electricity standing at 60%‑70%. Meanwhile, Namibia's spending on purchased power jumped to USD 5 billion in 2023, up from USD 4 billion in 2019, due to the rising cost of imported electricity.

Does Namibia have a solar power system?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Namibia can generate twice as much electricity as comparable systems in central Europe. Meanwhile average wind speeds in its southern and coastal regions exceed 7 m/s and capacity factors can reach 50%.

Why is electricity demand increasing in Namibia?

As Namibia develops its downstream industry to capture a greater share of the mineral value chain, electricity demand will continue to increase. Recent auction prices for solar PV and wind in Namibia were nearly 80% and 65% lower, respectively, than the retail price of USD 135/MWh that mines pay today for electricity.

How does mining affect electricity demand in Namibia?

Mining is Namibia's largest industrial sector (14% of GDP) and consumes 21% of the country's electricity. As Namibia develops its downstream industry to capture a greater share of the mineral value chain, electricity demand will continue to increase.
