Namibia energy storage power station frequency regulation benefits

4 FAQs about Namibia energy storage power station frequency regulation benefits

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 Namibia not getting enough electricity?

Namibia's domestic electricity supply has failed to keep pace with rising demand, and Namibia generates less than half of the energy it consumes.

Do Namibians really need electricity?

To date, more than half of Namibia's population does not benefit from access to electricity. It is generally accepted that grid supplies cannot effectively be made available to everyone.

How much power does Namibia need?

Currently, Namibia's installed generation capacity is in the order of ~500 MW, while its demand is approximately 600 MW. 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.
