Namibia has 283 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 84 tracked facilities, ranking #96 of 222 countries in this atlas.
Solar dominates: 98% of the operating capacity (277 MW) comes from solar parks, against 6 MW of wind.
The pipeline is substantial: 7.3 GW under construction and 14.5 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 7,725% of today’s operating fleet.
About 91 MW (32%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2018, with 92 MW commissioned.
The largest concentrations are in Hardap Region (46 MW), Erongo Region (41 MW), Karas (39 MW).
