B Y T H E C E O

Electricity is no longer the luxury commodity

that it was decades ago; it is now an essential

commodity to have in modern society. At

Erongo RED we are committed to bringing

this vital commodity to the end-user at an

affordable rate.

We are mindful that electricity is the back-

bone of the local and national economy of

our country and without electricity, indus-

tries such as mines and fishing companies

will come to a standstill and will result in

forcing thousands of people out of work.

Hence, we strive to keep our electricity

prices as low as possible to boost regional

economy.

While the electricity price continues to rise

annually by an average of 18%, we have

implemented measures to cushion the tariffs

for pensioners and the low-income segment

of our community.

The Electricity Control Board (ECB) has

approved an average electricity increase

of 9.53% on NamPower effective 1 July

2015. In line with national increases, Erongo

RED is also forced to adjust its tariffs to

remain sustainable. Effective 1 July 2015, an

average increase of 7, 7% has been passed

on to residential and business customers

within Erongo Region.

In 2013, Erongo RED introduced the inclining

block tariff system, a system that empowers

its domestic customers to be in control of

their electricity bills. This year, the company

decided to continue with this system where

the tariffs are low as N$1.24 per unit for the

first 250 units, the next 500 units only for

N$1.39 per unit, and N$1.65 for above 750

units. These social tariffs are currently the

lowest in the country and are part of Erongo

RED’s efforts to make this scarce commodity

accessible to the general public while the

electricity cost continues to increase.

Namibia imports the bulk of its electricity

from neighbouring countries and the

overall electricity consumption in Namibia

continues to increase. Therefore, we appeal

to all electricity users to utilize electricity

wisely and efficiently.

Envisaged as a dynamic and efficient

commercialised electricity distributor for

the Erongo Region, the Erongo Regional

Electricity Distributor Company (Pty) Ltd,

commonly known as Erongo RED, started

trading on 1 July 2005 within the context

of the Namibian Government’s National

Development Plan.

Erongo RED was formed by merging the

service of electricity distribution from

various municipalities and town councils in

the Erongo Region namely, the Municipality

of Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Henties Bay

and Omaruru; the Town Councils of Karibib,

Usakos and Arandis, Erongo Regional

Council and NamPower. All these individual

institutions are shareholders of Erongo RED.

The initiative to create a regional electricity

distributor was part of the Electricity

Supply Industry’s (ESI) and Electricity

Distribution Industry’s (EDI) restructuring

policy; distributing and supplying electricity

through economies of scale and the pooling

of human and operational capital resources

to ultimately stabilize electricity prices and

ensure reasonable, affordable and cost-

effective tariffs to electricity consumers.

The company purchases electricity from

NamPower for both urban and rural

customers. The electricity is transmitted

and distributed to different customer

segments that include residential, business

and industrial customers. Erongo RED uses

about 15% of the total electricity requirement

of Namibia. The Electricity Control Board of

Namibia regulates the electricity industry in

Namibia, thus Erongo RED operates under

the set regulations.

The core business of Erongo RED is to

distribute and supply electricity within

the mighty region of Erongo. Erongo RED

received distribution and supply licences

which are valid until 2030. The company also

received a generation licence for embedded

power generation in 2006 for a 220 kW

wind generator close to Walvis Bay,it is the

first network-connected wind generator in

Namibia.

TA R I F F

A N A LY S I SCustomers are encouraged to periodically study their load profiles and ensure that they purchase electricity on the most efficient tariff structure available.

“The suite of electricity tariffs at Erongo RED

is designed to cater for a range of electricity

consumption profiles. Where a customer

implements a change in plant operation that

alters the electricity consumption profile, it

may be necessary to migrate to alternate

tariff structures to avoid unnecessary

electricity charges.

Erongo RED also works closely with various

large power users to provide advice on

energy efficiency matters with the intention

of helping customers to attain high

levels of energy efficiencies within their

industrial unit. Customers are encouraged

to periodically study their load profiles and

ensure that they purchase electricity on the

most efficient tariff structure available.

For more information and advice, please

contact the Erongo RED Revenue Protection

Division on: 064 214 600.

Q U A L I T Y O F

S U P P LY S E R V I C E S

The business unit regularly monitors the power quality by conducting power quality investigations when necessary.

Erongo RED has implemented a Quality

Charter recommended by the Electricity

Control Board of Namibia (ECB), which

defines its commitment to ensuring the

delivery of electricity of appropriate

quality and of dealing with problems that

customers may experience with regard to

quality from time to time.

The Network Operations and Maintenance

Business Unit is tasked with the responsibility

of ensuring that the right quality of electricity

is supplied to consumers. The Business

Unit regularly monitors power quality by

conducting power quality investigations

when necessary. These investigations are in

accordance with the Quality of Supply and

Standards, Quality of Service Standards and

Technical Standards.

Erongo RED also launched its Customer

Service Charter which serves as a promise to

its customers when it comes to service delivery.

The Customer Service Charter can be accessed

on our website, www.erongored.com or at any

of our Erongo RED Customer Care Offices.

For more information regarding the quality

of supply, please contact the Network

Operations and Maintenance Business Unit:

Erongo RED has learned that electricity theft

is taking place within its distribution area

and strongly urges all customers to stay

away and desist from this serious offence.

The consequence of such an illegal act is

the immediate suspension of electricity to

the customer premises without prior notice,

a regulated fine of N$3 874 as well as the

actual value of stolen electricity units.

Stealing of power cables and copper busbars

does not only increase the operating cost,

but it also compromises the safety of our

staff working on electrical installations.

Furthermore, it creates an unsafe condition

on the electrical network that requires

immediate restoration and creates

unnecessary power outages.

Depending on the nature and extend of the

damage, Erongo RED will be forced to shut

down the affected substation to do the repair

work, which can result in other electricity

users being deprived as they have to wait for

hours before the repair work is completed.

Replacing copper bars and conductors can

take 5 to 10 hours and during this time, the

area feeding from the affected substation

will be without power.

Removing of copper bars and copper

conductors can cause the voltage to raise

and thus, put appliances such as televisions

sets, refrigerators and radios at risk. It also

disrupts supply to other essential service

providers such as schools and hospitals.

Furthermore, removing cables and busbars

is also risky and the effect could be fatal to

those involved in copper theft.

We therefore urge all our valued and

esteemed customers and members of

the general public to report any acts of

vandalism on our electrical infrastructure at

our offices or nearest police station. Please

note that incentives are being offered for

any tips-offs that leads to apprehension.

Illegal connections and tampering with our

equipment can be reported to:

Erongo Call Centre 064-214680 or Control

Centre 064- 214 687.

removing cables and busbars is also risky and the effect could be fatal...

Network Demand Charge (NDC): is a

charge that is variable on a monthly basis

and is charged on the actual charge demand

measured.

Network Access Charge (NAC): The network

access charge should be the highest kVA that

the customer expects the utility to be in a posi-

tion to supply. The NAC is a tariff component

that is fixed on an annual basis and is charged

as a Charge N$/kVA on the greater of the Noti-

fied Maximum Demand or the actual demand.

Time of Use (ToU): means that the use of

electricity at peak hours will be charged at a

higher price than the normal flat rate.

Notified Maximum Demand (NMD): is the

maximum demand notified in writing by

the customer, which the customer requires

in order to be in a position to demand and

remains in force for a period of one year.

Service Charge: is a fixed charge payable per

account to recover service related costs.

Should the NMD be exceeded for three

consecutive months, a penalty charge shall

apply and be payable from the third month.

Should the demand reduce below the NMD

in future months, the NMD Penalty Charge

shall reset to zero for that month and only

become payable if NMD is exceeded or

three consecutive months.

In the event that customers wish to increase

their NMD, they shall be required to apply

formally to Erongo RED according to the

Erongo RED connections charge policy.

In the even that customers wish to reduce

their NMD, they shall be required to give

Erongo RED notice at any time prior to

31 December of any year, for the new

NMD to take effect in the next tariff cycle

commencing on 1 July of that year.

In the event that customers wish not to

declare an NMD, the NAC will be calculated

on the highest peak of kVA during the past

twelve months, for the period January to

December for the new NMD to take effect in

the next tariff cycle commencing on 1 July

of that year.

Geyser• A geyser accounts for up to 40% of your

electricity bill.

• Ensure that your thermostat is set to no more

than 55°C.

• Wrapping your geyser in an insulating blanket

can cut power consumption by half.

Heater• Electric heaters that are controlled by

thermostats are more energy efficient.

• Oil filled heaters are the safest.

• Only heat rooms that are occupied.

Electric Stove • Use a pressure cooker when preparing food

that normally takes a long time to cook.

• Consider buying a stove with a convection

oven.

• Use cooking utensils with flat bottoms and

tight covers.

• Don’t use a stove to light a cigarette.

• Never use the stove or hot plate as heaters.

Washing Machine • Soak your clothes first.

• Use cold water.

• Run the machine only when there is

a full load.

• Do not over-wash clothes.

• Clothes that need a light cleaning don’t need to

be washed as long as dirty work clothes.

• Use the proper setting for the type of clothes

you’re washing.

• If they are delicate or knit, use the setting

offered rather than the “regular” setting. This

will use less energy and the clothes will

last longer.

• Locate your washing machine as close to the hot

water tank as possible. The shorter the distance,

the less amount of heat loss in the pipes.

The Time of Use Tariffs are made up of three

components:

Seasonal rates – during the winter months,

June, July and August, customers are

charged the high season rates, which are on

average double the rate in the low season

which is the remainder of the 9 months.

Daily rates - makes provision for higher rates

during the week than during weekends.

Hourly rate - makes provision for peak,

standard and off-peak rates.

Therefore, the bill levied for July, August and

September will be higher than the rest of

the year. Please note that Erongo RED also

increases tariffs every year in the month of July.

Why is my neighbour’s electricity tariff

cheaper than mine? Why do I get less units

for the same amount of money than they do?

Erongo Red has a variety of different tariffs,

termed as the inclining block tariffs (see

Page 39 in this booklet for more information)

to cater for all individuals depending on

their power needs. Although you reside in

the same area, it could be that your neighbor

or family has a lower sized circuit breaker.

Erongo RED customers that have a

connection size of 30 Amps and lower are

charged on a subsidised tariff that is much

lower than customers that have a 40 Amp

connection size and higher.

Customers can contact the Erongo RED

Call Centre to verify their connection sizes.

To downgrade your connection to a smaller

circuit breaker, an application form needs

to be completed and a fee of N$ 222 needs

to be paid. The downgrade needs to be

feasible with the customers’ current power

needs, otherwise power trips and shortages

that could damage electrical appliances will

be experienced.

Customers that have flats and informal

dwellings with a one-meter connection

are urged to consult an electrician before

attempting to downgrade connections.

What must I do if I want to install solar

panels on my house?

Before your solar installation supplier

completes any installation, you need to apply

to and register at the nearest Erongo RED

Customer Care Office. Our Office will assist

you with further advice and information.

Please take note that a new regulation on

net metering was recently approved by

ECB and is available on the ECB’s website,

www.ecb.org.na, under the Documents /

Legislation /Rules and Regulations.

How do I report an electricity outage

or fault?

The Erongo RED has established a Call Centre

that is available during office hours and a

standby electrician for after hours to attend

to customers’ queries. Electricity outages and

faults can be lodged with the Call Centre at

081 9600 (toll free number), or 064 214 680 or

by email to [email protected].

Be sure to obtain a reference number from

the operator when logging a fault. This can

be used to track the status of your query

and all related remedial activities.

Note: Restoration times vary considerably

and are dependent on the nature of the

electrical fault incurred.

How do I report theft of electricity

and vandalism?

The theft of electricity and infrastructure

is on the rise and an appeal is made to the

public to be vigilant and report suspicious

activities to the Operations Business Unit

at 064 217 600. Cable theft can also be

reported via the Call Centre on 214 680 or

1600 (Toll Free – Landline only).

How do I report a street light fault?

All electricity outages, power trips and

street light faults can be lodged with our Call

Centre or Customer Care Office or our local

electrician. For all our contact details please

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S

Erongo Red Tariffs 2015-2016 | 43

see the list on page 44 of this booklet. Please

remember to provide all relevant information

when reporting any electrical fault.

Relevant information should include the following:• Street name• Erf and gate number• Your full name and contact details• Town and suburb• Description of the fault• Pole number (for street light fault)

Note: Restoration times vary considerably and are dependent on the nature of the electrical fault incurred. In addition, please make sure to obtain a reference number from the Call Centre Agent when logging a fault. This can be used to track the status of your query and all related remedial activities.

How is electricity measured?Every customer has an electricity meter that measures the amount of electricity consumed. Electricity consumed is measured in kilowatts and you are charged for the kilowatts used per hour. The higher the kilowatt rating of a particular electrical device, the more electricity it consumes.

How is my account calculated?Your account is billed on a periodic cycle. You will have a start reading and an end reading. The difference between the two is your electricity usage for that period. Your usage is then multiplied by the tariff rate to arrive at an N$ value.

Example: Start reading – (1st of a new month) = 85 354 kWhEnd reading – (30th) = 86 901 kWhUsage for 30 days – 1 547 kWh

CalculationsThe 1st 250 units x 1.72 = N$430The next 500 units x 1.85 = N$925

The remaining 797 Units x 2.060 = N$1 641.82Basic Charges 40 Amps x 8.50 = N$340ECB Levy – 1547 x 0.0160 = N$24.75NEF Levy – 1547 x 0.0108 = N$16.71Total for the month = N$3 378.28

Please refer to page 40 and 41 for a sample electricity account and further explanations. Note: (Not applicable to industrial & Time of Use tariffs. The Basic Charge used in this example does not apply to Uis).

What do I do if I do not receive my electricity account?In the unlikely event that you do not receive your electricity account, please contact the Call Centre on 064 214 680. You could also visit one of our Customer Care Offices to query the outstanding amount for payment and request a copy of the current invoice if required.

Where else can I pay my electricity account?Payment for electricity services can only be made at the Erongo RED Customers Care Offices. Payments can also be done via internet banking, direct debit or by means of cheques. Please refer to Page 39 and 44 of this booklet for a list of all our Customer Care Offices and banking details respectively.

What can I do if I suspect that my meter is faulty?If you suspect that your meter reading is not in accordance with your consumption as a result of a meter fault, you may request for a meter test to be carried out. This process is subject to a meter test fee. Please refer to Page 34-37 of this booklet for other regulated tariffs or contact one of our Customer Care and Paypoint Offices for further advice and information.
