In a milestone achievement for the University of Namibia and marking the beginning of a new era in local energy production, the educational institute has seen the launch of a N$65 million solar energy plant.

Built by Inceptus Holdings in collaboration with Alensy Holdings, the initiative is projected to supply electricity to Windhoek, at 40% of the current cost charged by utilities.

The solar plant project will help reduce UNAM's carbon footprint and contribute to the institution's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
