Namibia Generator Communication BESS Power Station

4 FAQs about Namibia Generator Communication BESS Power Station

How much will NamPower contribute to the Bess project?

NamPower will contribute approx. 100 million NAD to ensure the total project cost of around 500 m NAD are fully covered. The BESS plant will assist in peak shifting, energy arbitrage, provision of emergency energy, ramp-rate and reactive power control amongst others.

Will Namibia's electricity grid be stabilized?

The Managing Director of NamPower, Mr Kahenge Simson Haulofu, further said that the electricity grid in Namibia will be stabilized as short and medium-term power fluctuations from RE generation can be load-followed by the storage system.

What is the Bess and how will it work?

The BESS is expected to store "locally generated renewable power as well as electricity imported from the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP)". The electricity will be stored at off-peak times, when it is cheaper. The stored energy can then be discharged "during peak times".

When will NamPower EPC plant be operational?

After an elaborate tendering and evaluation process, NamPower signed the EPC contract with Shandong Electrical, Engineering & Equipment Group Co., Ltd and Zhejiang Narada Power Source Co., Ltd JV on 13 December 2023. Construction work is planned for 18 months and the plant is expected to be operational by mid 2025.
