You know how southern Africa''s been struggling with power shortages? Namibia''s just made a game-changing move. In December 2023, the country signed contracts for its first utility-scale
Africa-Press – Namibia. Namibia is set to expand its power storage capacity in the energy sector with the introduction of the first-ever Omburu battery energy storage system (BESS).
A battery storage power station, or battery energy storage system (BESS), is a type of energy storage power station that uses a group of batteries to store electrical energy.
Nangolo said if Namibia could build 1 080MW of solar power, 650MW of wind power and 600MW of energy storage systems for about N$30 billion, "we would have achieved a surplus, affordable and clean energy.”
First utility-scale battery energy storage system to be developed in Namibia- said the company is committed to building a world-class facility and making it a landmark in the new energy fields
