Demonstrates the impact of competitive bidding on national energy costs and government fiscal management.
TotalEnergies will be the sole supplier of petroleum and diesel to Namibia from November 2026 to January 2027, offering a discount that will save the government N$220.5 million.
Minister of industries, mines and energy Modestus Amutse on Monday evening announced that Total was selected as the successful supplier to import 345.3 million litres of fuel over three months.
“The winning bid offers a discount of 61 cents per litre on diesel and 71 cents per litre on petrol.
“Over the three months, it amounts to a saving of approximately N$220.5 million compared to the current arrangment,” he said.
Prior to May, the government paid supplier premiums on each litre of fuel.
For May to September, Vitol was selected as the sole supplier of fuel to the country.
Amutse in May said the company was selected because it offered to supply fuel without premiums.
