Electricity Control Board of Namibia gets new Board – Business Express



The ministry of mines and energy has announced the appointment of a new Board for Electricity Control Board of Namibia (ECB).

The Board will be chaired by Evangeline Nailenge who will be deputised by Prof. Tjama Tjivikua. Board members include Mburumba Appolus, Vincia Cloete and Helen Vosloo.

This appointment is made in line with section 5 of the Electricity Act 4 of 2007 which prescribes a term of 4 years.

The appointment is thus effective from 08 September 2023 until 07 August 2027.

“By accepting this appointment, I am convinced that you will execute your duties diligently and in the utmost good faith. I wish to point out that all of you, as board members, are required to execute your powers and functions as outlined in section 3 of the Act. Moreover, I want to implore you to accomplish the mandate of the ECB together with its Executive Management, by exercising control over the electricity supply industry with the main responsibility of regulating electricity generation, transmission, distribution, supply, import and export in Namibia through setting tariffs and issuance of licenses.

“Whilst doing this, always enforce, good corporate governance. When I say this, I am not directing you to pursue ethical behaviour for its own sake, but because it is a vital plank in nation and industry building. Also, keep in mind, that good governance enhances corporate, social and investor confidence. Especially in such a sensitive industry, such as the electricity industry. Without trust/confidence we could incite distrust in our systems and structures, and I am sure that a decline in confidence or trust is something none of us want,” the ministry said.
