This document seeks to reduce the investment requirements for independent producers adding power into the national grid, and to allow customers who generate their own energy to reduce their reliance on the grid, and to promote the production and use of sustainable renewable energy sources including in small scale projects. All renewable energy technologies are eligible for net metering. All distribution consumers are allowed to install net metered facilities. The document sets the regulatory framework on net metering, including carbon credits for consumers who self-generate energy.

These are the set of rules which define conditions for accessing the electricity grid.

The purpose of the Energy System Transformation Outlook (ESTO) is to document a high level summary of the electricity landscape in Namibia and is the outcome of a high level overview and assessment that followed a ‘ interview, identify’ approach.  The ‘review’ phase focused on a desk top review of a multitude of publicly available energy and power sector publications.

The ‘interview’ phase focused on further discussions with the key public sector actors (MME, NamPower, and ECB) to identify
potential needs, opportunities and gaps, and culminated in the public sector actors formally expressing their key priority needs.

The ‘identify’ phase focused on defining potential technical assistance and capacity building projects that will strongly support a
power transition in Namibia and that GET transform is well positioned to support It also provides a starting point for further
engagement with the public sector and other donor agencies.
