The rainfall season has passed, and Namibia’s electricity generation has also faded with the rain season in Southern Angola.
As of June 2025, the country could only generate 54.2% of its electricity needs. This is a drastic decrease from the month of April 2025, when the country generated 70.7% of its electricity. This is according to the Namibia Statistics Agency analysis through its monthly sectoral reports that cover electricity as a sector.
In June 2025, a total of 417,049 MWh of electricity was supplied to the domestic economy, lower than the 434,154 MWh recorded in the preceding month, but higher than 364,167 MWh supplied in the same month of 2024.
The amount of electricity supplied in a month is also an economic indicator, highlighting the amount of goods and services produced in a six-month period. Moreover, increasing energy consumption also signals an expanding economy, as production is electricity-intensive at every aspect except at labour level.
