When load shedding is experienced in neighbouring countries which supply power to Namibia, NamPower’s supply is curtailed, as any other customer depending on the stage level.

another good article about Namibian energy and load shedding impacts and future energy plans.

Karibib where the mine is has access to solar or future solar power with the Khan project which commenced construction last year but how LPD access that and when they can I’m not sure but I’ll do more research.

the image is a screenshot from an article where JW talks about the need for green hydrogen. Basically the energy costs of Namibia make it too expensive to open a chemical plant in Namibia therefore we have a chem plant being built in the UAE.

The Walvis Bay port is about a 2.5hr drive from karbib and then you travel around South Africa and all the way up to the Middle East to chem plant.. man what the UAE must offer must be bloody attractive or the location is far more strategic.. I don’t know? Why would the dfc fund this..
