Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span><\/a>Japanese Conglomerate Hitachi Energy is delivering a range of high-voltage equipment to hydropower construction firm Sinohydro Corporation Limited to enhance NamPower\u2019s Kunene and Omatando substations in northern Namibia.<\/p>\n

<\/a>In order to meet Namibia\u2019s rising electricity demand, NamPower, the country\u2019s bulk electricity supplier, is implementing the two substations as part of the utility\u2019s Transmission Master Plan, with the support of Sinohydro. The project will strengthen and expand the country\u2019s transmission network and ensure reliable power supply throughout Namibia.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The development of the Kunene and Omatando substations will significantly increase electricity supply and reliability to Oshakati, Ongwediva, Ondangwa and surrounding areas. Hitachi Energy collaborated with Sinohydro for the supply of a comprehensive range of reliable high-voltage products including circuit breakers, instrument transformers, surge arresters and disconnectors to NamPower.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cWe are proud to be collaborating with Sinohydro and NamPower in this key infrastructure expansion project that will contribute towards addressing Namibia\u2019s electricity supply challenges. As a leader in high-voltage technology, our well-proven solutions enable our customers and partners to achieve uninterrupted power supply while enhancing the safety, reliability and efficiency of power networks,\u201d said Malvin Naicker, Managing Director for Hitachi Energy Southern Africa.<\/p>\n

<\/a>This cross-stakeholder collaboration is a solid commitment to bring solutions that advance national electrification in Namibia. In doing so, Hitachi Energy plays a critical role in transforming the world\u2019s energy system to be more sustainable, flexible and secure.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cAt NamPower, we strive to provide innovative electricity solutions in the South African Development Community (SADC) region. The Kunene and Omatando substation projects, which are in the implementation phase, form part of the NamPower Transmission Master Plan that is critical for improving energy reliability in the country. We are pleased to collaborate with Hitachi Energy on these projects that will help us achieve our goal of a more resilient power network in Namibia,\u201d said Kahenge Haulofu, Managing Director of NamPower.<\/p>\n
