The Solar Revolving Fund is a credit facility established by MME in 1996, and to stimulate demand for the utilization of renewable energy technologies in the rural areas, especially for communities living in off-grid areas, but also to urban clients. SRF is an element of the Off-Grid Energization Master Plan for Namibia (OGEMP) whose objective is to provide access to suitable renewable energy technologies to off-grid areas. The Fund offers subsidized loans to Namibian citizens at a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum for 5 years.
