The Ombru Energy Storage Project is located in central northern Namibia, with a designed storage capacity of 51 megawatt hours. It can release electricity to the grid during
The project features a 45 MW / 90 MWh BESS facility, representing the country''s largest battery, and is part of the broader Transmission Expansion and Energy Storage
Once operational, the Omburu BESS will allow NamPower to manage energy supply and demand more effectively. The system will perform energy arbitrage, displace costly
As southern Africa''s first mover in grid-scale storage, Namibia''s not just solving its own energy puzzle. They''re creating a replicable model for the continent''s $12B storage market – and
Namibia is not yet self-sufficient, but the combination of grid-scale storage and transmission expansion is laying the foundation for a more resilient and renewable-driven
To this end, energy storage systems can be useful, to store electrical energy during maximum supply periods, and provide additional power from the storage system when the off-take
Let''s cut to the chase: In December 2023, Windhoek made history by launching Namibia''s first grid-scale energy storage system. This 54MWh project in Erongo Region isn''t
Key contracts have been signed for the first-ever grid-scale battery storage project in Namibia, signifying the African country''s dedication to modernising its energy infrastructure,
The power sector analysis includes interactive charts for Namibia''s grid-connected installed capacity (2010-2023), grid-connected energy mix (2018, 2023, 2028) and analysis of
