Annual Electricity Tariffs Review: 2022/ 2023
- As Namibia continues to import most of its bulk supply of electricity from neighboring countries, so as the trend of electricity tariffs increase. We thus urge all consumers to use electricity sparingly.
- In accordance with Section 27, Sub Section (2) of the Electricity Act 4 of 2007, the Electricity Control Board (ECB) as the Regulator of the electricity pricing in Namibia, has approved an overage electricity tariff increase of 7.6 % to NORED effective 01 September 2022.
