Namibia has been urged to prioritise energy security, affordability and sustainable energy development as the country seeks to meet growing demand and support economic growth.

Industries, Mines and Energy Minister Modestus Amutse has called on electricity distributors to reach consensus on project implementation, noting that such collaboration would help craft a faster and more effective approach to implementation.

After years of waiting, residents at the Mix settlement in the Windhoek Rural Constituency are set to receive reliable energy access.

City officials say the electrification project at the settlement will restore dignity and spark a new local economy.

President Nangolo Mbumba says Namibia wants to work closely with China in the development of energy, including green hydrogen, solar, hydro, wind, and nuclear energy.

President Mbumba held a bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, at the Great Hall of the People.
