NAMIBIA is to import additional power from Zambia to boost that country’s energy supply system,NamPower chief executive officer Paulimus Shilambaa has said.
Mr Shilamba said Namibia has applied for an additional 100 Mega Watts (MW) of power to be imported from Zambia through Zesco.
Nampower presently receives 50 MW of electricity daily from Zesco and the firm is negotiating with the Zambian power utility firm to provide Namibia with more power to Namibia.
“We have requested for an additional 100 MW of electricity daily and with the recent expansion of power stations in Zambia, it could be possible for Zesco to sell us more power,” Mr Shilamba said in a statement.
Negotiations over a possible fresh deal with Zesco had reached at an advanced stage as NamPower was also negotiating for increased power imports from Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
About 45 per cent of the electricity consumed in Namibia is generated locally, while 55 per cent is made up of imports from Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Zesco exports electricity to some countries in the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP) during off peak hours when most consumers require minimal usage of energy.
Zambia’s electricity generation capacity lies between 1, 730 MW and 1,820 MW and exporting part of this energy, will earn the country an extra US$2 million a month.

Just the name chitundu@kuti batontonkanya ifyamano niba mokomoko
1% serious 2 govt n zesco 4 where they ar exporting,they dont xperience any loadshedding……….
Do they produce excess electricity for them to start Exporting?
That is seriously disgusting, there no way we can be exporting electricit whn you (zesco) fail to supply sufficient power nation. Wht r your plans for th continous loadshedding. Supplying electricit to Namibia is just going to bring more loadshedding.

Why dont they biuld more dams then start exportin the surplus, i know zesco needs the forex bt its nt a good move
As zambians we ar facing problems with loadsheding they ar tinkin of sellin electricity it does’nt mek sense
OK this is nonsense… I work in the private sector and its a tile of thumb not to go into new markets if the production capacity will not meet that demand…who makes these decisions?
know were u’r coming 4rm not were u’r going who brought dis insults of selling electricity thnk of smthng else coz load shedding pa zed is very high.
while you loadshed back home… yaba
NONSENSE.THIS IS TOTAL BANKRUPS IN ONES HEAD.CANT THEY SEE LODSHEDING WE IN COMPOUNDS WE ARE SUBJECTED TO?
wat a govt we voted into office, more loadsheddin 4 di poor pipo nw.really pathetic
Would it be fair as a father in your own house selling all your farm produce & leave your children starving for the love of money. Am sorry this what is happening
This is utter madness and foolishness. Why sell when you are unable to sustain local demand?
I dont understand how the grandpa of all dont kubeba thinks! Are these the changes pipo were so excited about?
This is total foolishness on the part of our Government and ZESCO, why would a person with senses even begin to think of exporting more power when the Zambians themselves can’t afford a day without loadshedding?
This means more load shedding here at home. Feeding your neighbour’s children while yours are starving. Hahahaha! This is being generous.
