Building Africa’s blueprint for integrated energy development

Namibia stands at the crossroads of becoming a regional energy hub, leveraging recent offshore oil and gas discoveries alongside world-class wind and solar resources. To realize its potential, however, the country needs a single, cohesive energy strategy that links upstream development, large-scale renewables, grid expansion, and export corridors. Targeted investments in ports, transmission capacity, digital transformation, and local skills will attract long-term capital while protecting national interests. With coordinated policy that is pragmatic, strong governance and regional partnerships, Namibia can create a resilient, diversified energy economy that benefits not just its own people but the entire African continent.
