BPC waits on 5% tariff review request

The BPC made the request to the Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) last year, together with proposals for another four percent increase in 2022-2023 and yet another four percent in 2023-24. The corporation received a 22% increase in the 2020-2021 financial year which ends on March 31.

 “BERA made a recommendation on the 2021-2022 tariff review and this is still going through the approval process,” BERA tariff and pricing manager, Malebogo Bakwena told BusinessWeek on Wednesday.  “The process is that we make a recommendation to the Minister and this then goes to Cabinet.”
