- ANIREP seeks to accelerate renewable energy development in Namibia.
- The electricity generated will be fed to the national grid.
Alpha Namibia Industries Renewable Power Limited (ANIREP) plans to increase the commercial installed renewable energy generation in Namibia from the current 150MW to 760MW by 2025.
The announcement was made on Tuesday at a groundbreaking event of the 20MW Khan Solar PV Independent Power Producers (IPPs) Project near Usakos. “This project contributes significantly towards the realization of NamPower’s increased generation capacity,” said NamPower managing director Kahenge Haulofu said in a statement.
According to Haulofu, one of the many positive aspects of the Khan Solar PV is that it will offer the lowest tariff in the country at 49,05 cents per kilowatt-hour, therefore contributing to lowering electricity tariffs.
The project is set to facilitate the investment of approximately N$300 million into the economy during its development and construction phase.
