6 FAQs about [Energy storage buildings Namibia]
How can Namibia be energy-secure?
The gap is made up by electricity imports. In order to be energy-secure, Namibia needs to be energy-independent, given the risks in power supply within the SADC region. This requires Namibia’s bolstering its own energy generation capacity with the available domestic resources.
How can a grid code impact energy storage in Namibia?
Grid Code rules and targeted tariff signals for energy storage solutions can enable the wider adoption of energy storage and ensure it adds value for a number of stakeholders in Namibia’s ESI including both the customer and system operator.
Why is electricity Wheeling important in Namibia?
Government recognises the importance of electricity wheeling for the growth of Renewable Energy in Namibia in its further development of the electricity market framework. The Regulator shall consider the development of wheeling regulations that enable Renewable Energy projects (e.g. community solar initiatives).
How does the government support Namibia's modern energy access goals?
Government supports Namibia’s modern energy access goals through the increased use of economically viable and locally available Renewable Energy resources along with the expansion of the mini-grid roll-out that aligns with the SADC’s mini-grid framework and Action Plan for Namibia.
What type of energy is used in Namibia?
Overall, primary energy in Namibia is derived from liquid fossil fuels (petroleum, diesel, paraffin, and liquefied petroleum gas), biomass (charcoal, wood, and processed wood products), and coal. At present, renewables play a very small role in the non-electricity energy sector.
Does Namibia have a solar thermal technology roadmap?
The Namibian Energy Institute in collaboration with NUST and SOLTRAIN developed a Solar Thermal Technology Roadmap for Namibia, which highlights the potential for solar thermal among various end-use segments as depicted in Figure 7. (NEI, 2015).
