Namibian Government Promotes Prepaid Electricity for Cost Management

Namibian Minister James Sankwasa has indicated a policy shift favoring the adoption of prepaid electricity meters for lower-income households. The government is advocating for a transition away from traditional post-paid systems, suggesting pre-paid meters provide enhanced cost control and greater transparency for consumers. This initiative aims to reduce electricity costs for vulnerable populations and potentially stimulate economic activity in rural areas. The move is part of a broader strategy to modernize Namibia’s energy sector and improve access to reliable electricity services.
