On May 12-13, Botswana Power Corporation joined manufacturers and key industry stakeholders at a high-level Manufacturing Summit themed “Shaping the Future of Botswana’s Manufacturing Sector.” The two-day summit created an important platform for dialogue around the opportunities and challenges shaping Botswana’s manufacturing industry.

Engaging with manufacturers throughout the summit reinforced the importance of BPC’s participation at such platforms. No manufacturing sector can thrive without reliable and sustainable energy, and BPC remains committed to powering industries, enabling economic transformation, and supporting national development.

Through reliable electricity supply, BPC continues to support industrial growth, contribute to job creation, boost exports, and strengthen Botswana’s local economy.

Botswana Power Corporation continues to play a meaningful role in supporting national priorities through its contribution to the Government of Botswana’s Operation Thibelo – Foot and Mouth Disease Disaster Initiative, led by the Ministry of Lands and Agriculture.

As part of this initiative, BPC has donated used gum poles valued at P625,000.00. This contribution is aimed at supporting the protection of Botswana’s livestock industry, an essential pillar of the country’s economy and food security.

The donated gum poles will be utilised in the maintenance and reinforcement of border and veterinary fences. These fences are critical in containing and preventing the spread of Foot and Mouth Disease, thereby protecting livestock and supporting the sustainability of the agricultural sector.

This initiative reflects BPC’s broader commitment beyond its core mandate of electricity provision. It demonstrates the Corporation’s dedication to safeguarding livelihoods, supporting government- led interventions, and contributing to the long-term sustainability and resilience of Botswana’s economy.

BPC employees are encouraged to take pride in the organisation’s continued efforts to make a positive impact across communities and sectors nationwide.

The Corporation conducted a series of visits to schools in the Tsabong area this week as part of its ongoing efforts to promote awareness of electrical safety and energy efficiency among students and staff. The initiative aimed to educate learners on the safe use of electricity, highlight potential hazards, and encourage responsible energy consumption practices both at school and at home.

During the sessions, participants were engaged through interactive discussions and practical demonstrations, which helped to reinforce key safety messages and the importance of conserving energy. The program also provided an opportunity for the Corporation to connect directly with the community and address questions related to electricity usage.

Attendees warmly welcomed the initiative and expressed their appreciation for the Corporation’s proactive approach. Many commended BPC for its commitment to community outreach and for taking meaningful steps toward fostering a culture of safety and sustainability among the younger generation.
