Parliamentary oversight officials have mandated that energy authorities deliver a detailed electricity strategy within half a year, outlining how Namibia will guarantee dependable and cost-effective power over the coming three years to advance manufacturing expansion. Committee chairman Iipumbu Shiimi announced the directive requiring the Ministry of Industries, Mines and Energy to work alongside the Electricity Control Board, NamPower and the productivity task force on energy.
Legislators instructed officials to accelerate proposed energy legislation through the National Assembly while dedicating funding toward local generation capacity and launching public campaigns emphasizing energy independence as fundamental to economic development. The parliamentary body emphasized strengthening partnerships between government entities, commercial operators and interested parties to broaden alternative power sources and grid infrastructure.
Authorities target reaching 80 percent residential electrical connectivity by 2035, with expanded domestic production reducing import dependence and lowering expenses for consumers and businesses while supporting long-term industrial competitiveness.
