FAQS about Namibia Energy Storage Lithium Battery Company

Who owns the Namibe Lithium Project?

Tyranna Resources, an Australian-based mineral exploration company, will acquire an 80% interest in the Namibe Lithium Project. The Acquisition is expected to be finalized by July 2022, positioning the company as the majority owner of the project.

How much electricity does Namibia import?

Currently Namibia imports up to 70% of its electricity from neighbouring countries. This electricity is predominately generated with coal.

How will Namibia improve energy supply stability by 2030?

By 2030 the Namibian government plans to increase the share of renewable energies (RE) in its electricity generation from around 30% to 70%. With a growing share of RE the need for measures to maintain and improve energy supply stability is also growing.

Could surplus electricity be stored in the Bess?

Surplus electricity from RE generation as well as cheaper electricity imports from the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) can be stored in the BESS. The stored energy could supply customers during peak times and would offset fossil energy from the aging local Van Eck coal power plant.

Can a battery storage system support the integration of re?

A battery storage system such as the KfW funded 58MW / 75 MWh Omburu BESS Project can fulfil a multitude of tasks related to the challenges of the integration of RE and is ideally suited to support the sustainable development of the Namibian electricity sector.

Why is Namibia a pioneering project?

As the project is the first of its kind in Namibia, it fulfils a pioneering function - it is expected that subsequent projects in the same field will benefit substantially from the experience gained from within this project. Currently Namibia imports up to 70% of its electricity from neighbouring countries.
