My little town had our own power station, your Eskom came up her decades and sweet talked us with cheeeeeeep power to shut down our power station that ran on diesel which we shipped directly from Rotterdam!
Always time for a braai, with our without power!
We were developing a major gas to power project in my town, that would supply all of Nam's supply and be able to export.... but delay after delay, the price went up and the current gov do not think that we can afford it right now...
In the meantime, there is a Spansih consortium doing the rounds , getting free land from various town's and putting up solar plants...
From a Spar perspective, a large number of the Namibian stores have moved over to solar, this was mentioned at a Western Cape Spar meeting, how the Cape stores could take a page or two out of the Namibian stores...
We also have a small power plant being built somewhere outside of Arandis/Swakop...
From a personal perspective, I think Nam would have also been ripe for a Nuclear plant, we have the stable coast, empty space, uranium and cold water.......
