POWER HOUR – Power Supply Report
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.

MOTSHELO JOINT OPERATION TARGETS CRIME AND VANDALISM IN GREATER GABORONE
BPC, in partnership with the Botswana Police Service and several organizations – including BTC, LSC Security, Security Systems, Gaborone City Council, Mascom, and Orange Botswana – recently carried out a successful Motshelo Joint Operation. Coordinated by SSKA Police Station and Mmopane Police Post, the initiative aimed to strengthen collaboration in combating vandalism, theft, and related crimes affecting communities and infrastructure.
The operation mobilized 90 officers from multiple police stations and targeted areas such as Gaborone North, Mmamashia, Mmopane, Ledumadumane, and local scrap metal dealerships. Supported by the Special Support Group’s dog and horse units, teams conducted foot and mobile patrols, vehicle stops, and searches. The increased law enforcement presence acted as a strong deterrent, leading to the questioning of several individuals linked to vandalism and copper theft.The exercise underscored the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder cooperation in maintaining public safety and protecting national assets.
