Eco International is developing the 50 MW TeraSun Energy Solar PV Power Park to supply competitively priced electricity to any large power user across the Namibian national power grid.
The TeraSun Energy solar PV power park will be located in the town of Arandis, on a site the has been secured and which enjoys amongst the best solar irradiations in the country with a potential to generate over 2480 kWh/kWp/year.
The 900 million Namibian Dollar investment will be structured through TeraSun Energy (Pty) Ltd, a special purpose company that will engage large power users to conclude competitively priced Electricity Supply Agreements with firm supply durations between 5 and 15 years, according to individual customer requirements.

Eco International is proud to be associated with this innovative project structured towards the commercial PPA market of South Africa.
Capitalizing on the experience that we have gained in Namibia with the development of our 50 MW TeraSun Energy power park project, we have been appointed by the Port Elizabeth based company Raw Renewables, as co-developers, co-owners and project managers to bring our experience to the South African IPP space.
The project entails the development of 5 x 10 MW solar PV power generation facilities in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan area (Port Elizabeth) for the supply of electricity to large commercial power users.
