NamPower Chairperson, Laurence Kavendjii launched the company’s 2026 to 2030 Integrated Strategic Development Plan (ISBP) on Friday.

Kavendjii says the 2026-2030 strategic direction of the company reflects a renewed commitment to transformation, sustainability, and regional leadership in the energy sector. The new plan was developed collaboratively, anchored in a revised vision and mission as the crystals for NamPower’s strategic direction and is developed in alignment with all Namibia’s national plans.

"Our shared commitment is to enhance value for both shareholder and stakeholders. Thus, the new strategy outlines strategic priorities across all operational domains to ensure alignment with Namibia’s economic transformation agenda and the evolving Modified Single Buyer (MSB) market structure. NamPower will continue to drive innovation, foster strategic partnerships, and pursue operational excellence in delivering sustainable, reliable and affordable electricity for all Namibians,".

Kavendjii says the anticipated industrial expansion, especially in green hydrogen will potentially provide surplus variable renewable energy (VRE), while, oil and gas, and mineral beneficiation, will increase demand and place additional pressure on generation and transmission capacity.

The strategy responds to dynamic shifts in the electricity market, the rapid evolution of technology, and growing expectations for reliable, affordable, and clean energy. It aims to address operational challenges while laying the foundation for long-term growth, innovation, and resilience, with an emphasis on service delivery and effective stakeholder engagement.

"The new plan articulates on resource deployment and a performance framework for the five-year planning cycle. It ensures that the company’s long-term objectives are synchronised with Namibia’s national energy development goals, including scaling renewable energy capacity, strengthening grid resilience, improving affordability, and supporting broader sustainability outcomes," the chairperson said.

The launch coincided with NamPower’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
