The increase in the cost of electricity has become a growing concern for the average consumer and small businesses in Namibia.

To add salt to the injury, NamPower is seeking a 14,59% increase in electricity tariffs for the 2024–25 financial year. 

The proposal, submitted to the Electricity Control Board (ECB), would raise the average transmission customer tariff from 198.56 cents per kilowatt hour to 227.53.

The Electricity Control Board is yet to announce its decision on the proposed tariff increase tomorrow.
