Kandjoze said in the interim a number of new electricity generation projects have been initiated, including through the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff (REFIT) programme, as well as by NamPower and the Regional Electricity Distributors.
Small scale renewable energy producers are expected to play a leading role in the sector, thanks to the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff (REFIT) interim programme that will add 70 MW to the grid this year.
