High-Voltage & Heavy Power
One contractor, from the supply down.
Most electrical contractors stop at the low-voltage side. That means on any development of real size you end up with one company for the supply and reticulation, another for the building's electrics, and a gap in the middle where the two blame each other when something does not line up.
We are licensed with every electricity distributor in Namibia, including NamPower, for work at every voltage level. On a development we can take the supply from the connection point, run the reticulation, install the mini-substation and wire every building on the site — with one programme, one responsibility and one number to call.
What You Get
What this covers.
Bulk supply connections
Getting a real supply onto a site and through the utility's approval process.
Site reticulation
The medium-voltage network that carries power around a development to each building or unit.
Mini-substations
Supply, positioning and connection of the transformer point that steps power down for use.
Heavy industrial power
Factories, warehouses, pump stations and cold stores, where the loads are large and the downtime is expensive.
Low-voltage reticulation
And everything below it, right down to the sockets. See electrical wiring.
Step By Step
How heavy power jobs run.
- We establish what supply you needLoad calculations first. Over-specifying the supply is expensive; under-specifying it stops the project.
- We deal with the distributorApplications, approvals and coordination with NamPower or the local distributor, so you are not chasing it.
- We build the networkReticulation, substation and main panels, sequenced around the rest of the construction programme.
- We connect and commissionTested, certified and energised, then handed over with the documentation you will need for the life of the site.

Common Questions
Things people ask us.
- What does “licensed with NamPower” actually mean?It means we are approved to carry out work that connects to and forms part of the distribution network, not only the wiring inside a building. Confirm the current scope of any licence with us in writing before you rely on it for a tender.
- Can you handle the utility application for me?Yes. Getting a supply approved is often the longest lead item on a project, so the earlier we start it the better.
- Do you work outside Windhoek?Regularly. We have delivered projects in Lüderitz, Swakopmund, Rundu, Gobabis, Keetmanshoop, Outjo, Karibib and across the NamParks sites. Distance is a logistics question, not an obstacle.
- Is high-voltage work more disruptive?It is more tightly controlled, which usually makes it less disruptive rather than more. Outages are planned, notified and kept as short as we can make them.
More From Us
Our other services.
Electrical Wiring
Every cable, plug, light and switch in your building — planned before we start, installed neatly, and certified safe before we hand it over.
Electrical Boards
Every building has one board where the power arrives and gets shared out. We design and build ours in our own workshop, so yours fits your building exactly.
Solar Power
Namibia gets more sunshine than almost anywhere on earth. A properly designed solar system turns that into a smaller electricity bill and fewer worries when the grid struggles.
Backup Power
An outage costs a business more than the electricity it interrupts. Backup power keeps the things that matter running until the grid comes back.
Repairs & Maintenance
Something broken, or something you would rather never broke. We do both — call-out repairs, and service contracts that catch problems while they are still small.
