Abstract

The article discusses Namibia's exploration of nuclear power generation as a strategy to reduce electricity imports and enhance long-term energy security. Kaire Mbuende, the Director-General of the National Planning Commission, highlighted this initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos, emphasizing the country's status as the world's third-largest uranium producer. Namibia currently relies on South Africa for over half of its electricity and aims to address energy insecurity exacerbated by climate change and rising regional energy demands. The government is considering smaller, modular reactors and regional collaboration to bolster its energy infrastructure. [Extracted from the article]
