Why Energy Services

Namibia's Energy Sector
Demands Expert Navigation

The Electricity Act No. 2 of 2007 established the Electricity Control Board (ECB) as the independent regulator for Namibia's electricity industry. All generators, transmitters, distributors and traders of electricity require licences from the ECB. The Petroleum Act governs exploration and production rights. IBDFN navigates these complex frameworks on your behalf.

Electricity Act No. 2 of 2007 — Section 4
ECB Licensing Framework
No person may generate, transmit, distribute, import or export electricity without a licence issued by the Electricity Control Board. IBDFN assists developers and investors in obtaining generation, distribution and independent power producer (IPP) licences.
Petroleum Act No. 2 of 1991 — Part II
Oil & Gas Exploration Rights
Petroleum exploration, development and production in Namibia requires a Petroleum Agreement with the Ministry of Mines and Energy. IBDFN supports operators through the NAMCOR partnership framework and petroleum rights application process.
