The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) plans a N$9.5-million solar power investment at Namibia’s key airports.
According to the NAC, the planned projects include the establishment of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants at Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA), Eros Airport and Andimba Toivo ya Toivo Airport.
“The envisaged airport infrastructure developments include among others the establishment of a solar PV plant at the HKIA, Eros and Andimba Toivo ya Toivo airports at the cost of N$9.5 million,” the airports operator said.
In addition to the solar initiative, Master Plans for all eight of Namibia’s airports will be developed in the upcoming financial year, guiding long-term growth and efficiency.
Discussions with local stakeholders are also advancing on the establishment of an aviation training school to enhance industry expertise within the country.
The NAC is also finalising land transfers for the construction of new terminal buildings at Katima Mulilo, Rundu and Lüderitz airports.
Other planned upgrades include improving the Parking Management Systems at HKIA, Walvis Bay Airport and Andimba Toivo ya Toivo Airport.
“The NAC is committed to improving its airport infrastructure to support the country’s national development initiatives and harness the natural resources brought about by the recent oil and gas discovery together with the green hydrogen initiatives,” the release reads.
In parallel, the NAC is reviewing its current Integrated Strategic Business Plan (ISBP) and developing a new five-year strategy that aligns with national and global trends.
The plan also includes the full implementation of a Performance Management System (PMS), a succession plan for key staff nearing retirement, and ongoing infrastructure maintenance and repair efforts to ensure operational excellence across all airports.
