NamPower and Namdeb signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate collaboration on the development and integration of renewable electricity projects into the national grid and Namdeb’s mining operations. Namdeb CEO Riaan Burger and NamPower Managing Director, Kahenge Haulofu signed the MoU at the NamPower Head Office yesterday, 7 May 2025.

The proposed development site is located approximately 45km north of Oranjemund within Mining License 43, where Namdeb is developing a 34MW Wind Power Plant, with it (Namdeb) being the sole off-taker of the electricity generated. Together, the parties have identified an opportunity to upscale the project and connect it to the NamPower grid and thereby leverage off the strengths of both parties.

Speaking at the signing event, MD Kahenge Haulofu said that this project is testament of NamPower's aspirations to promote collaboration with partners in the energy sector to reach our energy targets. Namdeb CEO Riaan Burger said that this MoU signifies more than a partnership; it is a statement of intent to power progress—responsibly and sustainably.

The MoU marks a leap forward in securing a greener and more inclusive energy future for Namibia.
