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.

“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.

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

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.
