EST. 2023

AltGen Namibia opened in 2023. AltGen Namibia, recently incorporated, has been established in order to service the burgeoning renewable energy and sustainability sectors in Namibia. Namibia’s stable economy and its recent push to decarbonisation have led to massive investment into some very interesting projects.  

TRACK RECORD

AltGen Namibia has partnered with NaDEET, the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust, in their 20th year of operation, to further deepen and strengthen its sustainability and educational programs. To this end, AltGen Namibia has committed 5% of annual turnover to NaDEET for as long as our association lasts.
 
AltGen has also partnered with relevant clients in Namibia and undertaken to develop a skills database that will ensure at least 90% of staff on relative renewable energy projects commencing in 2025 will be local Namibian residents.
