Nampower Builds A 22MW Plant At Walvis Bay

Napower, the Namibian state power utility, has awarded Barloworld Namibia a $31 million engineering, procurement, construction and turnkey (EPCT) contract to build a new power station at Walvis Bay. The power station, to be named Anixas, will provide additional power to the fast-growing uranium-mining sector on the Namibian west coast.  It will produce 21,5 MW using diesel-powered generator sets. The project is due for commissioning in December 2010.
