Overview
The national power utility of Namibia, NamPower, is currently exploring options of utilizing encroacher bush (an estimated renewable resource of currently 200-300 mio tonnes) for power production.
Study on Namibian Biomass Processing for Energy Production
A study conducted in 2013 has shown positive results, confirming the general feasibility of biomass to electricity projects in the country (STEAG 2013).[1] To access the publication, click here
A pre-feasibility study for a biomass power plant has been conducted for NamPower. It can be accessed on the utility's website.
NamPower is currently conducting a feasibility study for the construction and operation of several decentralised biomass power plants with a combined capacity of 60 MW. Study results and an investment decision are expected in the last quarter of 2017.[2]
