Namibia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy, Natangwe Ithete, has confirmed his participation in the 2025 edition of the Namibia International Energy Conference (NIEC), organisers announced this week.
The event is scheduled to take place from 23–25 April 2025 at the Windhoek Country Club Resort under the theme “Leading the Way: Becoming an Energy Hub with In-Country Value.”
The conference will bring together global and local stakeholders for a series of panel discussions, strategic dialogues, and engagements designed to address emerging trends and challenges in the energy sector, with a focus on positioning Namibia as a regional energy hub.
“NIEC has become a leading platform for thought leadership and high-level dialogue,” organisers said, noting that the event has drawn participants from across Africa since its inception in 2012. Delegates typically include OPEC representatives, top executives from international oil companies, service providers, investors, and energy experts.
The Namibian energy and business communities “have also and continue to be well represented at this leading gathering of the energy sector,” NIEC added.
The event is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Industries, Mines and Energy and is curated by RichAfrica Consultancy, in partnership with the African Energy Chamber.
The 2025 edition is expected to build on the momentum of recent energy discoveries in Namibia and growing investor interest in the country’s energy transition and industrialisation ambitions.
