The Luderitz-based company, NovaNam is set to invest N$36 million in two solar photovoltaic projects in Namibia. The project aims to increase the country’s renewable energy development.

SolarSaver, a Namibian company, will install the solar plant. It will generate 317kW per month and decrease the company’s annual CO2 emissions by 3.932 tons and a reduction of 2.393 barrels of oil yearly.

“The solar project will bring value-addition at our hake-processing plants in Lüderitz and Walvis Bay, respectively.
