Namibia: Govt to Force Use of Solar Tech

The government is working on measures that will compel public institutions and parastatals to use solar water heaters.

Mines and Energy Permanent Secretary Joseph Iita told New Era last week that this would be an energy saving measure, which will ensure that the country for industrial use saves energy that is being wasted at present. He said the government was very serious about solar energy technology, noting that the country has sunlight all year round.

This intervention comes at a time when applications for solar energy technology have increased to an extent that the ministry cannot cope with demand.
