This morning, we visited Ramaeba Primary School in Kazungula to conduct a public education session on electrical safety. Our ongoing school outreach programme is part of our continued efforts to engage communities and raise awareness about electrical safety.
At BPC, safety remains one of our core values, and we promote a zero-harm culture to ensure the public is protected from electrical hazards

NOTE:
Reliability challenges persist on units that have not yet under gone remediation. As a result, forced outages and short-duration (“pit-stop”) maintenance interventions will continue to be undertaken based on plant condition.
Key performance metrics have, however, improved materially. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) has been reduced from approximately 30-50 days to 12 days.
In addition, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) has increased, with units now remaining on the grid longer for an average of 120 days before a failure occurs.
Collectively, these improvements provide a sound basis for the positive energy availability outlook.
Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) recently hosted an induction programme for its newly appointed Board Members, giving them an opportunity to gain first- hand insight into the Corporation’s operations and strategic assets. The tour began at the Gaborone National Control Centre, where the Board was introduced to national grid operations, system control processes, and the role the centre plays in maintaining a stable and reliable power supply.
Board Members then visited Morupule A and B Power Stations, where they were briefed on generation processes, maintenance activities, and ongoing efforts to improve plant performance and safety. The induction also included a visit to the Mmadinare Solar Plant, highlighting BPC’s growing renewable energy portfolio and the role of solar power in supporting sustainable energy solutions. The programme concluded at the Phokoje Substation, where the Board gained an appreciation of transmission operations and the importance of strong network infrastructure in supporting electricity delivery across the country.
The induction provided valuable engagement between the Board and management, ensuring a shared understanding of BPC’s operations, challenges, and strategic priorities as the Corporation continues to power Botswana’s development.

BPC’s new Board Members participated in an insightful induction programme, touring Morupule A & B Power Stations, and the 100 MW Solar PV Plant in Mmadinare. The excursion offered an immersive appreciation of our diverse energy portfolio, from coal-fired baseload to renewable innovation, equipping them to deliver strategic leadership, oversight, and governance as we advance Botswana’s sustainable energy security.
BPC hosted its annual Elderly Wellness Day in Mmashoro Village. An initiative dedicated to giving back to the elders in the communities we serve. This year’s theme, “Gola ka botsogo jo bo itekanetseng o tle o tsele lobaka,” reminded us of the importance of living well to live long.
The event provided blood sugar and blood pressure screenings, shared essential health and welfare information, and engaged elders through discussions on safety and energy efficiency.
A wholesome day spent honouring wisdom, wellness, and community. 💜
