NamPower Solar Power Station (NSPS), is a planned solar power station in Namibia. The power station is under development by Namibia Power Corporation Limited (NamPower), the Namibian state-owned electric utility company. When completed, this renewable energy infrastructure project is expected to become the largest grid-ready, solar power plant in the country.[1]
Location
The solar farm is located on an area measuring 250 acres (100 ha), outside the town of Rosh Pinah, ǁKaras Region in southern Namibia, close to the border with South Africa.[2]
Overview
The power station has a planned capacity of 100 megawatts. NamPower intends to integrate the electricity generated here, into the national electricity grid.[1][3]
Construction
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company is a joint venture (JV) comprising China Jiangxi International Economic and Technical Cooperation Company Limited and China New Energy Development (Zhejiang) Company Limited. the contract price is NAD1.4 billion (approx. US$78.33 million). Of this, 80 percent will be provided as a loan to NamPower by the German Development Bank, while the remaining 20 percent will be raised by NamPower from internal sources. Construction is expected to begin during H2 2024, with commercial commissioning expected in Q2 of 2026.[1][3][4] The table below illustrates the sources of funding for the construction of NamPower Solar Power Station.[1][3][4]
