The 10 MW Maxwell solar plant, which represents a “ground-breaking step” in Namibia’s transition to renewable energy and “serves as a model for future public-private power partnerships”, has been commissioned, says solar asset management company Sustainable Power Solutions (SPS). The company, in partnership with gold mining company B2Gold Namibia, Maxwell farm owners the Oelofse family and local property developer Fortitude, has successfully commissioned Namibia’s first solar wheeling project under national electric power utility NamPower’s modified single buyer (MSB) programme.
