Germany and Namibia have signed an agreement to start working on two energy transition and industrialisation projects worth N$103 million.
The projects were agreed to in 2025 at bilateral negotiations on development cooperation held at Lüderitz.
“The projects will support Namibia’s efforts to expand access to modern and sustainable energy services and to develop responsible and sustainable value chains for critical raw materials, contributing to the country’s energy transition and green industrialisation objectives,” a joint media release states.
Newly accredited German ambassador Thomas Wimmer and National Planning Commission director general Kaire Mbuende signed the cooperation agreement on Wednesday.
One project focuses on expanding access to electricity while the other is a critical raw materials project.
