According to Pea, the significance of the survey findings cannot be overstated, as they will help in assessing the contributionofthefishing sector to nutritional value addition, food security, and efforts to

address hunger and poverty within communities. “These findingswillalsoguideusin conducting rigorous education campaigns and formulating effective sales strategies, thus will be a very important planning tool.

The survey anticipates havingthesurveyreport bytheendofSeptember 2023, and will cover all regions at household levels to identify socioeconomic benefits derived from fish consumption,” Pea stated.

Peasaidthecurrentfish consumption per capita stands at 16.59 kg, an improvement from 11.4 kg in 2018, but still below the world average of20.4kg. “Weanticipate a significant increase after the completionofthesurvey,as required by our line Ministry, the Ministry ofFisheriesandMarine Resources Achieving ourtargetof20.4kgfish consumptionperperson peryearnecessitatesthe

NamPowerDebtCollectionPlanCauses PowerDisruptionsandEconomicConcerns

Eileen van der Schyff

In a recent press release, Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower) announced its Debt Collection Plan aimed at recovering outstanding debts exceeding N$1 billion. As part of the plan, power supply interruptions were implemented on June 5, 2023, affecting electricity consumers in the areas of defaulting distribution licensees. During a four-hour window between 17:00 and 21:00, residents experienced disruptionsintheirpowersupply

Following public backlash and concerns regarding the economic impact, NamPower issued a subsequent communication on June 12, 2023,revealingthesuspensionofthe plan until the end of August 2023. Thismovewasintendedtoallowthe government enough time to implement interventions to assist NamPower in recovering the owed funds from its customers. The issue at hand originates from two main sources: NamPower's failure to strictly implement its own credit controlpolicyandtheconsistentdelay in settlement of NamPower invoices by distribution licensees over an extended period.Thepotential consequences include a risk to the country's power supply security, hindering NamPower's ability to purchase or generate sufficient electricitytomeetnationaldemand.

TheElectricityControlBoard(ECB) holdstheresponsibilityofbalancing the interests of all stakeholders within the Electricity Supply Industry ECB-approved tariffs provideenoughrevenuefordistribution licensees to settle their NamPower bills and ensure a safe and reliable electricitysupplytotheircustomers. However, interruptions caused by NamPower's Debt Collection Plan havehadsevereconsequencesforthe

economy, including disruptions to critical services like medical care and hardships for electricity consumers.TheECBemphasisedits refusalto support any debtrecovery plan that compromises essential services or disrupts customers in goodstanding.

Acknowledging the positive intervention by the government, which led to the suspension of the DebtCollectionPlan,theECBhopes for a lasting solution by the end of August2023.TheECBhasalsobeen invitedtoparticipateinacommittee establishedbytheMinistryofUrban and Rural Development to address theissuesathand.

In conclusion, the ECB urges all customers to pay for the electricity they consume and advises distribution licensees to implement strict credit control policies. This would ensure immediate discontinuation of electricity supply to non-paying customers, prompt payment by all customers, and the proper allocation of revenue to NamPower The ECB also plans to engage with NamPower and other licenseestooptimisecoststructures, improve operational efficiency, and ensure the reliable and affordable supply of electricity to customers in futuretariffreviews.
