Engineered to comply with local utility directives, Namibian harsh climates, and NamPower operational safety benchmarks.
As one of Southern Africa's fastest-developing economies, Namibia is executing a comprehensive energy transition plan. Under the leadership of NamPower, the national power utility, Namibia is focusing heavily on reducing import dependency by investing in internal generation capacities. Key initiatives include expanding utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar projects in high-irradiance regions like Erongo and Hardap, alongside upgrading the distribution infrastructure of local municipal distributors like REDs (Erongo RED, NORED, CENORED) and the City of Windhoek.
The harsh climatic realities of Namibia—characterized by blistering daytime temperatures, high ultraviolet radiation, coastal marine environments (corrosive salt mist near Walvis Bay and Swakopmund), and intense dust winds—pose severe operational challenges to distribution equipment. This environment demands highly resilient distribution transformers that feature superior insulation class systems, optimized cooling layouts, and robust, corrosion-resistant enclosures.
Namibia is a global powerhouse in mining, particularly for uranium, diamonds, and base metals. Our pad-mounted transformers are built to endure the extreme dust and continuous load dynamics typical of mine sites like Husab and Rössing.
Equipped with dual-winding configurations and harmonics mitigation technology, our units smoothly step up low-voltage outputs from solar inverters into medium-voltage grids.
Aligning international technological trends with local distribution mandates to ensure safe, smart, and efficient power distribution.
The industry is shifting rapidly away from traditional mineral oil. Using biodegradable ester fluid reduces environmental spill hazards (critical for Namibia's sensitive water tables) and raises the flashpoint above 300°C for exceptional fire safety.
Integrating smart RTUs, pressure relief sensors, and optical thermal probes allows remote monitoring. Utilities in Namibia can inspect the internal status of rural and semi-urban substations without driving long desert distances.
Modern pad-mounted substations utilize dead-front setups where high-voltage connections are completely insulated and enclosed behind metal barriers, minimizing risk to public safety and operations personnel.
Fully compliant with IEC 60076, IEEE C57.12.34, and SANS (South African National Standards) criteria.

Henan Pirooz Power Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive electrical power equipment manufacturer integrating research and development, engineering design, production, sales, and after-sales service. The company specializes in customized solutions for power transformers and complete sets of transmission and distribution equipment, providing reliable and efficient electrical products for global energy infrastructure projects.
The company operates a modern manufacturing facility with a complete production system covering product design, precision machining, assembly, and full electrical testing. Equipped with advanced production lines and strict quality control procedures, Henan Pirooz Power Co., Ltd. ensures that all products meet international standards and customer-specific technical requirements, maintaining high performance, safety, and durability.
Aligning with the global decarbonization movement and intelligent grid architecture.
With the expansion of localized wind and solar arrays across Namibia, distribution networks are shifting from simple unidirectional lines into dynamic bi-directional grids. We are continually developing smart integrated substations equipped with automated load balancing, harmonic filters, and fiber-optic communication ports for real-time SCADA control.
Our technical roadmap heavily prioritizes IoT-based health monitoring, helping grid operators trace temperature hikes, winding wear, and oil degradation in real-time, greatly lowering the overhead of emergency maintenance.
Recognizing the ecological vulnerability of Namibia’s groundwater tables and conservation sanctuaries, Henan Pirooz Power is pioneering natural ester fluid retrofitting. These vegetable-oil-based formulations offer 100% biodegradability in addition to much higher thermal thresholds.
By opting for ester fluids, industrial developments can minimize fire clearance zones and reduce insurance liabilities while making a major leap forward in sustainable corporate operations.
Explore our full line of robust substations, step-up units, and single-phase custom units designed for Namibian commercial use.
Turnkey electrical configurations built to interface seamlessly with major African networks.
Every national grid system utilizes localized grounding methods, specific protection relay setups, and distinct cable connection cabinets. Rather than offering a standard one-size-fits-all product, our engineer team drafts custom layouts tailored directly to the directives of NamPower and regional RED authorities.
Whether you require low-voltage circuit breakers from specific premium brands, specific lightning arresters, or dedicated spaces for smart grid meters, Henan Pirooz Power adjusts layout dimensions and parameters without delaying production lead times.

Answers to technical and logistics inquiries regarding distribution transformer imports into Namibia.
Yes. We specialize in configuring our transformer systems to align with the electrical codes of Namibia, SANS standards, and NamPower grid specifications. This includes adjusting for primary line configurations (11kV, 22kV, or 33kV), specific vector groups (like Dyn11), and custom protection configurations.
For equipment bound for coastal zones with high salt-mist levels, we use heavy-duty anti-corrosive paint configurations that match ISO 12944 C5-M specifications. We also offer hot-dip galvanized steel bases and stainless steel enclosures to ensure long-term durability in highly corrosive environments.
Yes. Standard ratings are calculated for average ambient zones, but we configure our units for Namibia’s extreme hot zones by integrating larger cooling radiators, thermal de-rated configurations, and high-temp insulating fluids to guarantee full output capacity without thermal shutdowns.
Loop feed arrangements include bushing configurations designed to allow incoming power to pass through to adjacent substations in a loop arrangement. Radial feed setups feature bushings configured for a single incoming line termination, marking the final endpoint of a specific feeder line.
Our standard manufacturing timeframe ranges from 6 to 8 weeks depending on the complexity of the design. Standard shipping is processed via sea freight to the Port of Walvis Bay, and inland heavy transport delivers the units directly to job sites throughout Namibia, such as Windhoek, Swakopmund, or remote mining areas.
