Namibia invests in energy storage power station

NamPower, Namibia's state-owned power utility, has signed a contract with a Chinese joint venture to build the first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the country and the Southern African region. The overall tariff of the Omburu PV power station is therefore substantially reduced to the benefit of all electricity consumers in Namibia," he said. Haulofu said the Omburu power plant is built to be ready for battery energy storage, as part of the strategy to provide innovative electricity solutions.
