Table 3: Conditional Generation Licenses Issued by ECB

In 2010, there were 8 IPPs that were conditionally licensed by ECB, intending to generate power from coal, gas, heavy fuel oil, wind, hydro and biomass as shown on Table 4. The licensees are at various stages of negotiating power purchase agreements (PPAs) with NamPower as expected in the single buyer market model. As yet, only Bush Energy Namibia has established an operational power plant (250 kW fuelled by biomass, inaugurated in September 2010), while none of the other licensees has put up any power generation infrastructure.

As mentioned in Para 37, the GRN views CSP as a key technology to bridge the forecasted 2015 energy deficit and are aware through the CSP Pre-Feasibility Study^²⁸ of the actions required to build the requisite capacity and technology transfers to catalyze a local CSP industry. The aforementioned barriers in Paras 46 to 51, however, need to be addressed in order to implement CSP projects to that will mitigate the 2015 energy deficit.
