Namibia is poised to become the renewable energy hub of Africa – Namibia In March 2021, as I launched Namibiaâs Second Harambee Prosperity Plan (HPPII), I reflected on the need to emphasize the importance of multilateralism in our efforts to foster an enduring economic recovery. Namibiaâs policy on international relations and cooperation is anchored in multilateralism because our very independence was a product of international solidarity. We are a nation that was midwifed by the United Nations. It is for this reason that as we crafted our green economic recovery plan; we knew that it had to build a more sustainable [âŠ] Namibia is poised to become the renewable energy hub of Africa – NamibiaHIWI042021-10-04T15:32:04+02:00
Govt hunts for loans to fund N$3,5b desalination project – Namibia The government has over the years been weighing plans to extract water from the Atlantic Ocean to solve the scarcity of water for the central and coastal towns, which includes Windhoek. The government is also exploring the option of partnering with Botswana on the proposed project to provide water to the drought-stricken neighbouring country. The Namibian reported earlier this year that the proposed project could cost more than N$3,5 billion. Govt hunts for loans to fund N$3,5b desalination project – NamibiaHIWI042021-07-13T16:24:22+02:00
Second desalination plant to boost coastal development – Namibia âThis is so that we can stay ahead and can say âwater is not a problem, we will give you water when you want to invest hereâ, instead of âwhen you come, we promise to give you waterâ. Investors do not react on promises, they react to factual situations. That is why we say the desalination plant is no longer a contention, it is a reality. We will build it,â he said during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kuiseb collector 2â SchwarzekuppeâSwakopmund-pipeline near Walvis Bay on Saturday.T he [âŠ] Second desalination plant to boost coastal development – NamibiaHIWI042021-06-08T15:33:18+02:00
Schlettwein confirms second desalination plant for coast – Namibia The plant will be the countryâs second to convert seawater to freshwater after the N$3-billion Orano desalination plant at Wlotzkasbaken, constructed for the French uranium mining company Areva and commissioned a decade ago. âThe feasibility study for the construction of a new desalination plant has been completed and shows that an additional desalination plant is viable and needed,â Schlettwein said. âA new plant will therefore be constructed by placing the project into a public-private partnership through which private capital is leveraged, private operational capacity is roped in, while [âŠ] Schlettwein confirms second desalination plant for coast – NamibiaHIWI042021-06-06T10:00:08+02:00

Desalination plant output hits record high – Namibia Originally built by Orano (then Areva Resources Namibia) to supply water to its Trekkopje Mine near Arandis, the desalination plant is now an important contributor to the overall supply of the potable water delivery system managed by Namwater. It provides about 75% of the overall drinking water to Swakopmund, as well as the nearby uranium mines and other industries. Located 35 kilometres north of Swakopmund, it is the largest reverse osmosis seawater desalination plant in southern Africa. (LINK).
