“The N$120 million Omburu Solar Park, owned by French investor InnoSun, is situated about five kilometres south of Omaruru and is the first renewable energy project in Namibia by an independent power producer (IPP).
Officiating at the ground-breaking ceremony on Friday, Minister of Mines and Energy Isak Katali said government supports such projects and that Namibia has enough renewable energy and should just harness it more.
NamPower’s managing director Paulinus Shilamba said SADC countries depended on each other through the regional power pool, and that power shortage was affecting all due to population and economic growth, and so each country was taking care of their own needs. He said Namibia, which is heavily reliant on South Africa’s Eskom, was ‘cut out’ on about four occasions this year.”
In light of the above, the 3rd Annual Environmental Compliance Namibia is scheduled to take place on 8 & 9 April 2015, Safari Court Hotel, Windhoek, Namibia.
The 2015 conference aims to reiterate the importance of collaboration between the private sector, Ministry of Environment & Tourism and related ministries with the aim of environmental compliance.
