Uninterruptible Power Supply in Namibia How BESS is
For Namibian enterprises navigating power uncertainties, AC-coupled BESS solutions offer more than backup – they enable true energy independence. As battery costs continue falling 8%

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 demand reaches another peak, the power from the BESS can be made available again – and so supply bottlenecks are avoided. On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic
The BESS would enable Namibia to expand its participation in electricity trade within the 12 member states of the SAPP in a more balanced way. If surplus generation from RE can be
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,

Summary: Namibia''s growing demand for stable outdoor power solutions has made Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) a critical technology for industries like mining, tourism, and
The BESS station has storage capacity of 58 megawatts. Its design allows for a discharge capacity of 72MWh of energy into the Namibian grid. 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".
As southern Africa''s first mover in grid-scale storage, Namibia''s not just solving its own energy puzzle. They''re creating a replicable model for the continent''s $12B storage market – and
Once fully operational, the Omburu BESS project will play a vital role in balancing Namibia''s power supply, ensuring that excess solar and wind energy generated during peak
We offer air or ocean shipment, 24-hour service, flexible payment arrangements, and the continent''s best prices. We carry Xantrex, Outback Power, Magnum Energy, Suntech Power,
Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.

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.
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".
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.
German development bank KfW, the NPC and NamPower congratulate the EPC contract winning partners, Mr. Benny Jin, Shelmon Chu and Qiao Weijian on the construction of the BESS project worth 500m NAD, which will contribute towards climate change by strengthening the expansion of Renewable Energies in Namibia.
