Rural Electrification
NamPower plays a pivotal role in advancing rural electrification in alignment with Government objectives. This initiative is at the heart of the nation’s economic development strategy, extending electricity infrastructure to remote rural areas to improve socio-economic well-being and stimulate local economic growth.
The National Electrification Policy solidifies the Government’s unwavering commitment to spearhead and bolster nationwide electrification, guided by fundamental principles embraced by all stakeholders. The Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy’s rural electrification programme takes the lead in providing grid-based electricity infrastructure to connect Government assets in rural regions, benefiting households and essential service points.
NamPower, in harmony with its electrification strategies and those of Regional Councils, identifies, implements, and funds projects utilising internal resources and grants from funding institutions. Assets resulting from these endeavours are subsequently entrusted to the relevant distribution licensee for operation and maintenance within their respective areas of responsibility.
NamPower remains dedicated to collaborating with the Government of Namibia in extending electricity infrastructure to rural areas, fulfilling our social responsibility philosophy and the brand promise of “powering the nation and beyond.”
