HDF Energy, which is developing a green hydrogen power plant in Swakopmund, says it has submitted its scoping report with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.

The report gives assurances to the Ministry that processes that are proposed to be followed to ensure environmental compliance during the implementation of the project, “are sound, practical and make sense.”

“This important step in the permitting process confirms a favorable context for the project. As a result, HDF Energy is one step closer to constructing the first green hydrogen power plant in Africa, among the first that HDF Energy deploys globally. It comforts the capacity of Namibia to become a trailblazer in green hydrogen power that others will emulate. This step is also one of many that ensures compliance with the Namibian laws and for the benefit of the Namibian people,” HDF Energy Director for Southern Africa, Nicolas Lecomte said.

“With the recent acceptance of the Scoping Report by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, HDF Energy Namibia can now proceed with finalizing the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment report.”

The Renewstable® Swakopmund project which is expected to become commercially operational in 2024, is being developed at an estimated cost of N$3.1 billion and is expected to improve access to reliable, stable, and zero carbon baseload electricity to be delivered 24/7 to more than 140,000 homes throughout the year.

The project is expected to create 300 direct jobs during its construction phase and 45 during its operational phase, with more jobs created indirectly across the value chain.

HDF Energy is a French major Independent Power Producer specializing in mass storage of electricity and non-intermittent renewable energy generation.
