What is increasingly clear is that, as an organisation, wecannotcontinuetorely on tariff increases to ensureourcompanymaintains a healthy position.
This is not sustainable as particularly our large customers will find alternative supply sources to meet their needs. On 1 September 2019, the revised market rules for the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) were implemented, following Cabinet approval The Modified Single Buyer market model brings the opportunity for the REDs to find alternative supply sources to ensure we maintain tariffs that are competitive and sustainableforourcustomers. So,thereisaneedforusto align ourselves with strategic partners such as Telecom Namibia to help us enhance service delivery meeting our customer's expectations through technological advancements.” Telecom Namibia's CEO expressed that this mutual cooperation would ensure effectiveandefficientprovision of services to both public and private institutions, as this strategic collaboration will facilitatetheprovisionofdigital solutions and innovation.

With this MoU we expect to reduce the downtimeevenfurther We arehappythatCENORED has taken its obligations seriously, and despite its challenges has made paymentstoNamPowerto ensure stable electricity supply, that will in turn ensure stable telecommunications connectivity, that is required for us as Telecom Namibia to provide essential telecommunications services.” He congratulated the CENORED leadership in this regard, and implored the other REDS, Regional Councils, municipalities, and village councils to follow in the footsteps of the CENORED leadership.
CENORED ensures that with this collaboration, Telecom Namibia will continue to enhance customer service experience and enrich customer satisfaction, with the provision of stable electrical and related services, quick response on down times and feedback within reasonable expedited time frames to restore services.
