Shafie questions Sabah electricity tariff hike amid supply issues KOTA KINABALU (Feb 6): Warisan president Datuk Seri Panglima Mohd Shafie Apdal has questioned the Sabah government’s decision to raise electricity tariffs when power supply remains unreliable and living costs are already high. “The government has described the increase as inevitable and minimal. Such assurances, however, cannot replace accountability when basic services have yet to meet acceptable standards,” Shafie said. “The government says the increase is inevitable and minimal. However, when basic services fail, people should not be asked to pay more,” he added in a statement on Friday. Shafie reminded that the increase was not just about higher electricity […]

Govt to give N$283 million to NamPower for electricity hike The government will be giving N$283 million to the Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower) to help the institution cover some of its costs after its request for a 17.8% tariff hike was rejected. The Electricity Control Board (ECB) yesterday approved a 3.8% tariff increase. The approved bulk electricity tariff will be applicable to regional electricity distributors, local authorities, regional councils and large industrial transmission customers like mines. This means end users (households) will not be seeing an electricity hike yet. The hike increases the cost of electricity from N$1.98 per kWh to N$2.06 per kWh for the 2025/26 financial year. “After due consideration, especially of the impact on the affordability of electricity, and in accordance with the ECB tariff review methodology, the ECB board resolved to approve a 3.8% increase for NamPower instead of the 17.44%,” ECB chief executive Robert Kahimise says. He says the tariff increase is below inflation, therefore, it has a minimal impact on inflation and the price of goods and services. Inflation stood at 4.2% at the end of March. “However, it will slightly negatively impact gross domestic product growth as electricity cost is a component of the inflation calculation,” Kahimise says. Distributors of electricity will have to individually apply to the ECB for a review of their distribution tariffs. Last year, the ECB approved an 8% electricity increase for consumers. However, it was cancelled and the government stepped in with N$365 million to subsidise electricity consumers for the 2024/25 financial year. Currently, the Windhoek municipality offers approximately 40 units for N$100. The cost is N$2.4772 per kilowatt (kWh). Erongo Red customers pay the highest amount of N$2.8472/kWh, meaning they only receive 35 units from N$100. Namibia has the highest electricity costs in southern Africa, primarily due to its heavy reliance on costly imported power. Namibia has imported electricity to meet power demand since the 1990s. However, imports still amounted to less than 40% of the country’s needs. One of the contributors to the high import bill is the decline in energy generation from the Ruacana Hydroelectric Power Station. In 2022, generation from the Ruacana station dropped by 20%, its lowest level since 1997. As of 2023, half of Namibia’s population had access to electricity through a grid connection, with another 5% to 6% supplied via off-grid, mostly solar photovoltaic-based systems. The post Govt to give N$283 million to NamPower for electricity hike appeared first on The Namibian.

Government to pay N$283 million for NamPower’s tariff increase Justicia Shipena  Once again, the government will cover millions to support NamPower’s tariff increase.  For the 2025/2026 financial year, it will cost N$283 million to ease the impact on consumers. The Electricity Control Board (ECB) approved a revised tariff increase of 3.8% on Tuesday, raising the average bulk tariff from N$1.98 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to N$2.06 per kWh.  This change will take effect on 1 July 2025 and will remain in place until 30 June 2026. The government’s financial support covers 3.8% of the proposed tariff increase, helping to ease the impact of the initial 17.44% hike. ECB CEO Robert Kahimise explained that balancing affordability with the long-term financial sustainability of NamPower is crucial.  “We understand the impact that tariff increases can have on consumers, but it is extremely important for the continued stability and functioning of our electricity supply system. The government’s financial support plays a key role in mitigating the full effects of the tariff adjustment,” he said. Last year, the government allocated N$365 million to subsidise electricity consumers for the 2024/2025 financial year. This subsidy ensured that consumers continued to pay the same tariffs as per the approved schedule. The current tariff increase was initially requested to cover NamPower’s revenue needs, including costs for bulk electricity purchases, maintenance, and staff salaries.  After a thorough review, including stakeholder consultations, the ECB reduced the revenue requirement from N$8.8 billion to N$8.1 billion. Kahimise stated that the increase is expected to have minimal impact on inflation and the prices of goods and services, which are well below the current inflation rate of 4.2%. However, the adjustment may slightly affect Namibia’s GDP growth due to rising electricity costs.  NamPower also considered external factors, including the rising cost of electricity imports and the depreciation of the Namibian dollar. The utility’s performance during the 2023/2024 period, which saw an over-recovery of N$963 million, helped reduce the overall revenue requirement. The revised tariff will apply to NamPower’s bulk customers, including regional electricity distributors, local authorities, and large industrial customers like mines, according to the ECB. ECB said distribution utilities will apply for their individual tariff adjustments, which will take effect on 1 July 2025. The Katutura Residents Committee expressed its satisfaction with the reduced tariff increase. Initially, the committee strongly objected to the 17.44% hike, calling it inconsiderate during a time of financial hardship. “We are happy that the 17.44% increase we objected to was not approved. It was a steep hike that we felt was unreasonable. Our stance remains that the recommendations we put forward must be seriously considered,” said Shaun Gariseb, the committee’s spokesperson. The committee also highlighted the need for a more predictable approach to tariff increases. “We strongly believe that a permanent solution must be found, as electricity tariffs can’t go up every year. At least every four years, there should be a review that ensures stability and predictability for consumers,” Gariseb added. He also called for the adoption of a multi-year price determination mechanism.  “This approach would allow for better planning and stability for both the electricity providers and consumers alike,” he said.

ECB approves 3.8% tariff hike for NamPower, sparing consumers steep price increase The Electricity Control Board (ECB) has approved a 3.8% tariff hike for the Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower). This increases the cost of electricity from N$1.98 per kWh to N$ 2.06 per kWh for the 2025/26 financial year. NamPower has submitted a tariff application for an increase of 17.44% for both generation and transmission tariffs. “After due consideration, especially of the impact on the affordability of electricity, and in accordance with the ECB tariff review methodology, the ECB board resolved to approve a 3.8% increase for NamPower instead of the 17.44%,” ECB chief executive Robert Kahimise says.
