Opening Power Markets to Private Sector Participation

This study delves into Namibia’s introduction of the Modified Single Buyer (MSB) model, one of the most progressive power market structures on the African continent. Namibia had introduced the MSB model in 2019 in order to liberalise its power market, attract private investment, and increase domestic generation. The model enables Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to sell electricity directly in parts to large users or export it to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), while eligible customers can procure power directly from generators.

Green Ammonia Business Cost Models: Fertilizer and Shipping

This model facilitates discourse among industry stakeholders, policymakers, and financial institutions by dissecting the economic aspects of green ammonia production. It offers comprehensive cost estimates throughout the value chain, from production to off-take, for two key sectors: fertilizer and shipping. The tool delineates the cost breakdown for each sector, accounting for variations in time, location, and policy dynamics such as carbon taxation. The Excel tools “PtX Model Shipping” and “PtX Model Fertilizer” enable country-specific cost estimations, with the report showcasing findings from Brazil, South Africa, and Namibia. The manual provides instructions for adapting the model to different countries and specific scenarios, offering limitless possibilities for analysis. The Green Hydrogen Business Alliance commissioned SYSTEMIQ for the tool and the report.
