The Central North Regional Electricity Distributor (Cenored) has announced that it is increasing its electricity rates by 7,6% from the start of July.
The increase follows on an electricity tariff hike of 9% by the national power utility, NamPower.
Cenored spokesperson Chali Matengu said the increase comes after the Electricity Control Board (ECB) granted Cenored an average tariff increase of 7,6% and 7,3% for the Cenored Okahandja joint venture, respectively.
“Though this increase is effective from 1 July 2023, it will only be effected on prepaid customers as from 3 July,” Matengu said.
In May, the ECB announced an increase in bulk electricity tariffs by 8,97%, from N$1,8222 per kilowatt hour (kWh) to N$1,9856 per kWh for the 2023/24 period, from the start of July 2023.
