Epupa Dam, Namibia / In the Medias

Article from The Nambian 

The controversial planned Epupa Hydropower scheme has given way to the development of the Kudu gas–to–power project as Namibia pushes for electricity independence.

A Namibian nongovernmental organization has proposed alternative sources of power and water that could be developed instead of the controversial Epupa hydroelectric scheme and the Okavango water pipeline, an October 7 article in The Nambian reports. In an open letter to the Namibian government, Earthlife Africa’s Namibia branch states that a package of alternatives would effectively cut the cost of the existing schemes by around N$966 million (N$1 = US$0.214).
