Hydrogen players up the pace in power deals

From the newsletter

Namibia has launched an international tender for six new 20 MW solar projects to be developed under an IPP model. The southern African country is making steady progress in both grid and captive generation, recently commissioning its first wheeling project. It is also opening the door to greater private sector participation to help expand energy access.

• The country has become synonymous with green hydrogen development, with its first project valued at about $10 billion, nearly equal to its entire annual GDP. 

• Because the tender is international, it is likely to attract companies with multi-country operations and strong financial records. This should draw many applications and could help the country secure a lower-cost deal.
