Description
Project Name: Ejuva
Project Owner: CiGenco
Standard: Verra VCS
Project ID: 1885
Located 220 km east of Windhoek (capital city), Ejuva One and Ejuva Two solar power plants are paving the way to Namibia’s energy independence. Commissioned in August 2018 as Namibia’s first twin solar photovoltaic facilities. The plants are powering more than 15,000 households with clean, reliable electricity. Built on 35 hectares of previously unused land, Ejuva reduces Namibia’s reliance on costly energy imports from South Africa and Zambia.
Ejuva’s strategic location, 100 m from a NamPower (national electricity company) substation ensures seamless grid integration. The project created 20 jobs during construction and sustains five permanent roles, training local technicians in solar maintenance.
The Ejuva Solar PV projects were developed by CiGenCo, a Mauritian company that specializes in investing, developing and operating power generating plants in Sub-Saharan Africa. These two solar power plants have positive demonstration effects for solar development in Namibia and neighboring countries.
