Namibia: Energy Independence Can Be Reached

Chief Executive Officer of InnoSun Energy Holdings, Gregoire Verhaeghe at the Sustainable Development in Namibia Conference said last week, that they plan to work together with other companies, especially with the government, to come up with solutions to reach energy independence in the country. Verhaeghe said Namibia receives more sunlight than anywhere else on earth and therefore it would be unthinkable not to harness this solar energy.

"We want to help organisations who help the poorest people by providing them with solar panels and reducing their energy expenditure," he said. Verhaeghe said that some of the objectives they have are to create more employment for the locals to empower them, to have and use solar panels that are locally produced and to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
