Launch of the SAPP and MSB Market Access Guide: An Enabler for Energy
Trading

RENEX is pleased to announce our participation in the SAPP and MSB Market Access Conference held today in Windhoek. This event saw the launch of the "SAPPand MSB Market Access Guide," a collaborative effort by Namibia’s Electricity Control Board (ECB), NamPower, and the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), with support from the European programme GET. Transform.

 

The guide aids Independent Power Producers (IPPs) navigate Namibia’s Modified Single Buyer (MSB) framework and the SAPP regional market, addressing the need for consolidated information.

 

Namibia’s market deregulation aims to enhance supply security and become Africa’s renewable energy hub. The guide provides clear technical and commercial rules for grid access and trading, attracting investors and facilitating exports into SAPP markets. It establishes a common understanding among participants in the MSB and SAPP markets, advancing cross-border trading opportunities and economic prospects for Africa’s Single Electricity Market.

 

For RENEX, this guide is an invaluable resource, equipping us with the information needed to navigate the evolving energy landscape and capitalize on new market opportunities. We look forward to leveraging these insights to enhance our trading operations and contribute to the growth of a competitive and integrated energy market in Southern Africa.
