Electricity and water sector poised for 12.3% rise Chamwe Kaira  Electricity and water supply is expected to grow by 12.3% in 2025, up from 2.3% in 2024, according to the Bank of Namibia’s August economic outlook.  The increase is driven by favourable rainfall, which will boost hydroelectric generation at the Ruacana Power Station and more solar power from projects such as the Otjikoto Biomass Plant and Rosh Pinah’s 70 MW PV facility. The central bank said, “Rising reservoir levels are also expected to contribute to a stronger performance in the water supply component. Growth in this subsector is expected to remain elevated over the medium term, in line with ongoing investment in renewable energy infrastructure.” Ruacana accounts for 37% of NamPower’s installed capacity, with its output depending on the flow of the Kunene River.  Lower output increases NamPower’s reliance on imported electricity. Fitch Ratings expects imports to decline sharply from 2027 as new generation capacity comes online. In 2024, imports accounted for 45% of supply, mainly from Zimbabwe Power Company, Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation, and Eskom. NamPower has extended its contracts with Eskom and ZPC, which were due to expire in 2025, until 2027 and 2030, respectively. No contracts are set for renewal in 2026. The construction sector is forecast to continue its recovery, growing by 8.5% in 2025 after a 6.4% expansion in 2024. Growth is expected to reach 12.8% in 2026. The central bank said, “This continued recovery is driven by increased activity in mining-related developments and government-funded infrastructure projects.”  The 2025 forecast was revised down by 8.5 percentage points from the April 2025 outlook. Secondary industries overall are projected to grow by 2.1% in 2025, down from 3% in 2024, as a contraction in manufacturing offsets gains in electricity, water, and construction. Manufacturing is expected to fall due to weaker output in meat processing and basic non-ferrous metals.  The sector is expected to rebound in 2026 with growth of 5.8%, supported by recovery across all subsectors.

FERC Filings Signal Continued Investment in Energy Delivery and New Technologies Recent FERC filings indicate a significant number of infrastructure projects are moving toward formal application, signaling continued investment in energy delivery and new technologies. Several Notices of Intent to File Application have been submitted, each initiating a potentially lengthy review process with opportunities for stakeholder input. ITC Transmission is proposing a new transmission line, while Tallgrass Pipeline Company plans to expand an existing gas pipeline, both of which will face scrutiny related to environmental impact. PacifiCorp’s proposed hydroelectric project will require thorough environmental impact assessments, particularly concerning river ecosystems. The planned construction of an LNG export facility by Rio Grande LNG is anticipated to encounter intense environmental reviews, reflecting ongoing climate change concerns. Enbridge Energy Company’s intention to relocate a pipeline will also necessitate extensive permitting and face environmental considerations. Transource Energy’s application for a new electric transmission line joins a trend of transmission infrastructure projects under FERC review. Brookfield Energy's proposal for a pumped storage hydroelectric project aims to enhance grid stability but will also undergo environmental assessment regarding water usage. Southern Star New England’s application for a project incorporating hydrogen production and transportation signals the emergence of hydrogen infrastructure and its associated regulatory considerations. Summit Carbon Solutions’ proposed carbon dioxide pipeline, a relatively novel infrastructure type, is poised to attract significant attention due to safety and environmental concerns. Finally, MidAmerican Energy’s energy storage project underscores the expanding role of energy storage in grid management and will involve assessments of safety and environmental impact. These filings represent the initial steps in complex processes, and interested parties are encouraged to engage with subsequent filings and participate in the formal FERC process. This summary is based solely on the provided White & Case document and does not constitute legal advice; official FERC documents and current legal developments should be consulted for comprehensive information.

Hydro-Quebec’s Electricity Exports Halted Amid US Tariffs - Cozzy Energy Solutions Hydro-Quebec's Electricity Exports Halted Amid US Tariffs A significant disruption has occurred in the energy supply chain between Quebec and New England, as Hydro-Quebec stopped exporting electricity into the wholesale market of ISO New England. According to data from grid overseer ISO New England, no electricity has flowed on the main transmission line between the two regions since last Thursday, with a few exceptions. Executive Serge Abergel attributes this halt in exports to weather issues rather than politics or international trade tensions. As chief operating officer for Hydro-Quebec's US operations, Abergel explains that the company is adopting a price-driven strategy, taking advantage of lower prices brought about by warmer weather. This decision not only affects Hydro-Quebec but also has implications for New England's energy market. The halt in exports comes at a sensitive time, as the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on Canadian imports, sparking a trade war with Canada. The uncertainty surrounding these tariffs is particularly pertinent to hydroelectricity exports. ISO New England officials have sought clarification from US Customs and Border Protection and the US Treasury but have yet to receive definitive answers. Based on legal precedents, ISO New England officials do not believe the tariffs apply to electricity. The impact of this trade fight on electric bills remains uncertain. Hydro-Quebec has filed a cost-allocation proposal with federal energy regulators, should the situation change. For now, New England still enjoys a surplus of electricity, but the halt in exports highlights the complexities of international trade and energy markets.
