Namibia: Energy Capital & Power (ECP), in partnership with the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia, has announced the launch of Namibia’s official investment report for the energy and mineral resources sectors. The report aims to promote investment in Namibia’s energy and mining industry, which has been identified as one of Africa’s most exciting upstream plays.
Namibia has seen a surge in interest from regional and global players following two major oil and gas discoveries made last year by Shell, TotalEnergies, and Qatar Energy. The government has since put in place a clear action plan to generate new investment and create a globally competitive energy market in Namibia.
The report will showcase upcoming investment opportunities, how to get involved in the sector, key institutions and actors to know, and the regulatory framework established in Namibia. Participating stakeholders include regional energy ministries and policymakers, independent and international oil companies, industry experts, investors, and analysts.
Namibia has been identified as a globally leading green hydrogen market due to its renewable energy resources and strategic position in high-demand markets in Africa and Europe. It represents the fourth-biggest producer of uranium worldwide, as well as a leading producer of zinc and diamonds, and its critical resources have been identified as strategic for Africa’s energy transition.
The publication will be distributed at ECP’s events this year in South Sudan, Angola, Mauritania, and South Africa. The report will undoubtedly attract investors and create opportunities for sustainable development in the energy and mineral resources sectors in Namibia.
