What are Namibia''s renewable energy goals and how does the Ombuu BESS project contribute to them? Namibia has set a target for renewables to make up 70% of its generation mix by 2030 and intends for 80% of energy to be domestically produced by the end of the decade. The Ombuu BESS project will contribute to these goals by enhancing grid
In a speech read on her behalf, Wihencia Uiras, Executive Director of Namibia''s National Planning Commission, emphasized the significance of the BESS project in the country''s energy aspirations. Uiras noted, "The BESS project represents a pivotal step towards achieving our national energy goals," underlining its potential to enhance
