Transmission Expansion and Energy Storage Project

The development objective of Transmission Expansion and Energy Storage Project is to strengthen Namibia’s transmission network and enable integration of renewable energy generation. This project has three components. 1) The first component, A-K Transmission Line, will support the engineering, procurement and construction and, as the case may be, operation and maintenance costs associated with the development and implementation of the A-K transmission line. 2) The second component, BESS, will support the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a utility-scale BESS for an estimated capacity/energy of approximately 45 MW/90 MWh25 and the cost of an Owners Engineer who will assist NamPower in the supervision of the BESS construction and commissioning. 3) The third component, Technical Assistance, has the following sub-components: (i) Improving the risk profile of RE projects; and (ii) Enhancing socio-economic benefits of NamPower projects and capacity building of NamPower staff by inter alia.
