Nambia must address the problem of inadequate access to
electricity (especially in rural areas), the challenge of extending affordable
energy services to underserved populations and the need for self-sufficiency
and energy independence.
The country must also ensure that the energy sector
development is climate-resilient and able to secure energy access even in a
non-stationary natural environment.
Renewable energy, if developed strategically and with foresight, holds the
solution to all these challenges.
These are some of the statements included in the final draft of the renewable
energy policy, which was presented to stakeholders during a one-day workshop
held in Windhoek last Thursday.
