[miningmx.com] – NAMIBIA power utility, NamPower, is exporting electricity to its South African counterpart which is struggling to meet demand, said BDLive citing a Sapa article which quoted a senior manager at NamPower.
“We are currently exporting up to 200MW of electricity to South Africa,” Werner Graupe, senior manager for energy trading at NamPower, told a Sapa. The power comes from Namibia’s Ruacana hydropower plant on the Kunene river.
“Due to the good rains experienced in the area, particularly southern Angola, the Kunene River flows strongly, sometimes at 300 cubic metres per second, driving the turbines at the power plant, and we can export up to 200MW off-peak,” Graupe said.
