5 FAQs about [Smart grid and energy management Namibia]
Do Namibian electricity utilities have a grid?
Contemporary Namibian electricity utilities are almost exclusively focused on grid-connected operations, and their underlying business is centred on operating grid infrastructure. To date, more than half of Namibia’s population does not benefit from access to electricity.
Who pays for electricity in Namibia?
Electricity infrastructure in urban formal areas is usually paid for by end-users through the sale of serviced land, while in urban informal areas it is usually funded by the distributor. Many of Namibia’s un-electrified areas are far away from the grid and are characterised by low population densities and/or highly dispersed settlements.
How does Namibia manage energy resources?
In the past, Namibia opted for a model whereby the Government, through the MME (as the country’s overall custodian of energy) budget allocations, in collaboration with NamPower, the REDs and select local government entities, delivered such services as and when funding was available.
Is there a shortage of skilled people in Namibia's electricity industry?
The availability of suitably skilled and experienced human resources remains a challenge throughout Namibia’s electricity industry, and the market continues to be constrained by the absence of suitably skilled persons.
What does the government do to promote economic growth in Namibia?
In this way, the Government seeks to actively unlock the country’s growth and investment potentials, in close collaboration with established as well as new utilities and private sector actors, to enable sustainable economic growth and the socio-economic advancement of the people of Namibia.
