The Ombru Energy Storage Project is located in central northern Namibia, with a designed storage capacity of 51 megawatt hours. It can release electricity to the grid during peak hours and provide peak shaving and stable support for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. . A landmark 45 MW / 90 MWh battery project in Namibia begins procurement with World Bank backing. With a growing share of RE the need for measures to maintain and improve energy supply stability is also growing. A battery storage system such as the KfW. . Key contracts have been signed for the first-ever grid-scale battery storage project in Namibia, signifying the African country's dedication to modernising its energy infrastructure, according to a top local official. In December 2023, the country signed contracts for its first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) – a 54MW/54MWh project at Omburu Substation [1] [2].

It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge). Department of Energy's 2016 Hydropower Vision report, hydropower's capacity can sustainably add 50 new gigawatts by 2050 — 36 GW of which is pumped storage. The National Hydropower Association (NHA) released the 2024. . Pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS) is the most widely used electrical energy storage technology in the world today. PSH complements wind and solar by storing the excess electricity they create and providing the backup for when the wind isn't blowing, and the sun isn't shining.
