The Ruacana Scheme as originally planned and negotiated with the Portuguese Authorities, consists of the following major components:-A large storage dam had to be built at Gove ± 80 km south of Nova Lisboa in the Kunene River. This dam, with a planned capacity of 2 600 million cubic metres, was designed to.

AI Customer ServiceNamibia currently has a small energy system that is dominated by its 347 megawatts (MW) Ruacana hydropower plant. The country is also considering an additional hydro-power plant, the Baynes Hydro-power Project on the Kunene River.
The country is also considering an additional hydro-power plant, the Baynes Hydro-power Project on the Kunene River. The Kunene River basin is heavily climate-exposed and extreme drought periods have already created energy shortfalls for Namibia because of its overreliance on the Ruacana hydro-power plant.
Chairperson of Earth Life Namibia, Bertchen Kohrs said Earthlife Namibia critically observed the planned hydro-power plant at Epupa in the 1990s. “A similar plant in the Baynes Mountains raises the same environmental and social concerns and Namibia is blessed with renewable energy resources like solar and wind.
When in full operation, the Ruacana hydroelectric power station's three turbines can generate about 330 Megawatts that is fed into the Namibia Power Grid at 330 000 volts. The Ruacana hydroelectric power station is still the core of Namibia's power supply system. The first component of the Ruacana hydraulic system is the Diversion Weir, situated in Angolan territory.
The analysis covers both techno-economic factors, providing multiple assessments that consider costs, social and environmental impact, and risk, as well as forward-looking climate factors for different energy technologies. Namibia currently has a small energy system that is dominated by its 347 megawatts (MW) Ruacana hydropower plant.
Namibia is at a crucial point in its energy system development and must make difficult decisions over the coming years to increase energy supply as demand could double in the next 20 years, while also managing costs and negative impacts.
