Namibia is positioning itself as a key player in the global green energy transition, with growing investments in green hydrogen and biomass production. Projects such as the Daures Green Hydrogen Village are already laying the foundation for a new energy future.
Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy, Modestus Amutse, says the green hydrogen programme falls within Vision 2030 and the Sixth National Development Plan, with a clear objective to transition Namibia from a primary commodity exporter to a diversified, industrialised economy.
The Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy says the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) provides evidence-based analysis, technical assistance, policy guidance, and platforms for cooperation that are critical to Namibia's energy transition.
B2Gold Namibia and NamPower have launched the first solar wheeling project at Maxwell Farm south of Otjiwarongo, aimed at redefining how clean power is generated, distributed, and utilised.
NamPower has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the country's electricity supply security by adopting a least-cost supply mix and boosting local generation capacity.
