WINDHOEK, April 9 (Xinhua) -- Namibia has called on African countries to stop relying on imported electricity and instead invest in local renewable energy to strengthen energy independence.
Speaking at the opening of the Regional Energy Regulators Association (RERA) conference on Wednesday in Swakopmund, a city on the western coast of the country, Namibia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy Natangue Ithete said the region is facing rising electricity costs and unstable power supply, which are affecting ordinary people and economies.
