Namibian firm Alpha Namibia Industries Renewable Power (ANIREP) has been selected as the preferred bidder to construct a solar photovoltaic power plant in ǁKaras province.
The project will have a capacity of 18.5MWp and will be located in Kokerboom, a locality in the municipality of Keetmanshoop. In a statement by Iyaloo Nangolo, managing director of ANIREP, “subject to the successful negotiation of a power purchase agreement (PPA), the project has been awarded through a tender process. We plan to feed the electricity produced into the national grid through a modified single-buyer model.”
The IPP will invest no less than N$300 million (over US$19 million) in the construction of the Kokerboom solar power plant. This project will be implemented in the ǁKaras region, which already concentrates several renewable energy plants under construction or operation.
