Kudu Power Project

The Kudu Power Project is a project to increase power production in Namibia. The main elements of the project are development of the Kudu gas field and construction of an 800 MW combined cycle natural gas-fired power station at Oranjemund. When completed, the power station will feed Namibian and South African power grids. The project will be developed by NamPower, a national energy company of Namibia.

Of the total 800 MW capacity, approximately 400 MW are foreseen for use in Namibia. This amount would significantly increase the country´s current power supply capacity, which stands at 500MW and is mainly dependent on the Ruacana Power Station.
