The Namibia Youth Energy Forum (NYEF) was officially launched on October 19, 2024, at the Lüderitz Waterfront Old Power Station Auditorium. This event represents a significant milestone in empowering young Namibians to engage actively in the country’s energy sector, with a focus on oil and gas, hydrogen, and renewable energy.

The launch of the Lüderitz chapter marks a strategic move aimed at fostering youth participation in energy-related activities, particularly as Namibia positions itself at the forefront of the global energy transition. The forum’s founder, Fanuel Shinedima, emphasized the importance of educating and inspiring young people, creating opportunities for them to become leaders in the evolving energy landscape. The event also included participation in the Lüderitz Stakeholders Conference and site visits to explore the local energy context.

The NYEF's initiatives include summits, workshops, and mentorship programs designed to build a network between young professionals and key industry stakeholders, aiming to drive sustainable development in Namibia's energy sector.
