  • Power Supply status this winter season
    Modified: 6/26/2019 6:31 PM
    The Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) would like to advise
    customers that the country’s electricity demand is increasing due to the low winter temperatures. In addition, the country’s supply – demand balance remains tight, with little reserve margins.

    In order to meet the expected winter peak demand of up to 600MW, the Corporation wishes to advise its valued customers to observe and practice efficient use of electricity, in order to prevent over-loading the electricity supply system, which might lead to shortage of power supply.

    Customers are urged to use electricity sparingly, especially during the peak periods of 0600hrs to 1000hrs and 1800hrs to 2200hrs. High usage of electricity during peak periods can lead to demand outstripping supply, resulting in the Corporation having to curtail demand (load
    management).

    Some of the measures which customers are encouraged to deploy to reduce demand include alternative heating systems that do not consume electricity, ironing laundry in batches outside peak hours, switching on heaters for 30 minutes prior to use of hot water, using saucepans that fit perfectly on the hot plates, and switching off appliances that are not in use.

    In the meantime, the country continues to be reliant on power imports and its emergency power generation facilities. Our Morupule A Power Station is also in its final stages of commissioning, and is expected to start commercial operation during the month of August 2019. 

    BPC will continue to strive to provide reliable power supply services during and beyond the winter season.
    We value the continued support and understanding of our customers.​​

  • Public notice 17 June 2018
    Modified: 6/18/2018 9:09 AM
    Eskom, the National Power Utility of South Africa, has issued a power alert to all its customers including the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) to the effect that the South African power system is facing some constrains arising from the increase in electricity demand due to the cold weather.
     
    In order to manage the situation, Eskom has requested all customers to use electricity efficiently in order to manage the ensuing supply – demand balance.
     
    BPC imports power from Eskom to supplement its internal generation and in addition Eskom supplies our villages along the Botswana - South Africa border directly from its distribution network. This means that should Eskom need to manage its supply – demand balance situation through load curtailment, customers in Botswana in following areas which are supplied directly from the Eskom distribution network are likely to be affected:
     
    • Tsabong
    • Tuli Block
    • Mashatu
    • Olifants Drift
    • Sikwane
    • Makopong
    • Werda
    • Mabule
    • Phitsane
    • Middlepits
    With respect to bulk imports from Eskom, no significant supply constraints are anticipated as BPC’s own generation from Morupule A and B and Emergency Diesel generation facilities (if required) is sufficient to meet the local demand for electricity.
     
    Our valued customers are encouraged to use electricity efficiently especially during the cold weather when demand for electricity tends to go high.
     
    Thank you

    Modified: 1/16/2018 9:49 AM
    Botswana Power Corporation wishes to inform all its valued customers residing in Francistown and the surrounding areas that they are experiencing unstable electricity supply in the area following the malfunction of transformers due to faulty power supply equipment at Donga 220/11kV substation.

    BPC had planned to have stabilised electricity supply at the affected areas yesterday (Monday 15 January 2018), but due to unforeseen circumstances stability of supply was not achieved. As a result the Corporation will continue implementing load management through load shedding at areas within Francistown and the surrounding villages until further notice.

    Customers are urged to support BPC as they work around the clock to ensure that power supply to Francistown and the surrounding areas is stable by reducing household load at all times.
    For safety reasons, you are encouraged to be always alert since the load shedding exercise will be implemented at any time. BPC apologises for the inconvenience the load shedding exercise in Francistown and the surrounding areas may bring.
    BPC’s valued customers will be updated on progress with achieving stable power supply at the affected areas.

  • PRESS STATEMENT
    Modified: 9/6/2017 9:00 AM
    ​Botswana Power Corporation entered into yet another symbiotic cooperation with Eskom Power Utility of South Africa since the recent signing of a Non-Firm agreement on power supply to Botswana by Eskom. A partnership to exchange skills and knowledge on distribution infrastructure maintenance was signed on 31st March 2017 in Johannesburg, South Africa. This exchange program will benefit both utilities with improved quality of the electricity distribution network for their valued customers in the Region. 
    In line with BPC’s Masa 2020 Turnaround Strategy, the objective to ensure continuity of power supply to Botswana will be met through the collaboration between the Corporation and Eskom. The improved quality of electricity distribution network will translate into a more stable, reliable and efficient distribution system that will result in increased customer satisfaction. Masa 2020 Transformation Strategy aims at improving on Service Delivery to the customer hence the Corporation saw it fit to borrow some of Eskom’s best practices.  
    BPC and Eskom have thus agreed on an exchange program with areas of cooperation outlined as follows: 

    1. a) Distribution Infrastructure Planning - where the power utilities will share experiences and approaches to close any key skills gap and improve operational performance in relation to load forecasting, development of distribution master plans, Medium Voltage (MV) substations design as well as MV underground and overhead network designs. Amongst the other benefits of the exchange program is that BPC will have an opportunity to explore the Distribution System Automation schemes and technology adopted by Eskom in order to move away from the predominantly manually operated distribution system in the near future. BPC will further experience ways through which the distribution network information can be managed as well as explore the possibility to integrate distributed generation into the distribution network. 
    2. Metering and Energy Management – within this area of collaboration simulation of distribution system losses through load flow study in a given network will be undertaken. An analysis of the existing Revenue Protection structures will be done to establish the most effective framework or model to be adopted. Policies around revenue protection may be reviewed depending on the gaps identified during the exchange program between the two (2) entities.
    3. Distribution Infrastructure Protection – the Corporation will benefit ways through which it can upgrade its distribution infrastructure protection system to the modern technology developments in order to improve network integrity and reliability. 
    4. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) – Cross boarder data linking will be undertaken by both BPC and Eskom to allow seamless connectivity of networks in both Botswana and South Africa. Both power utilities will learn of the benefits and implications of linking GIS with other systems like System Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), SAP/ERP and SmallWorld to enable better analysis of the distribution network, customer patterns of consumption against supply and location. 
    5. Operations and Maintenance – Maintenance Standards, Policies and Procedures on Primary Equipment Operations will be reviewed to achieve a computerised maintenance management system. To improve on operational efficiency, the collaboration will also focus on Material/Spares Management to effectively link maintenance, inventory and supply chain management. This linking will assist in improvement of turnaround times during maintenance procedures by the Corporation thereby minimising customer queries with regards to time taken during restoration of power supply after fault/outage has taken place. A transaction on experience of substation/distribution transformer failures and investigation will be done to inform areas of improvement on either the equipment or expertise if not both.
    6. Standards and Technology Development – this area of collaboration involves the standardisation of designs of substations, from rural types to major substations e.g. 66kV; 5-20MVA substations. This will assist the Corporation to accommodate the growing demand for electricity supply to areas whom their distribution was initially planned for rural operations. The substation design will take into consideration design philosophies especially the latest technologies.  
    7. Training – BPC and Eskom will establish a joint curriculum design and implementation which shall include commercialisation of technologies. A Human Resources staff exchange program has been planned, and during this exchange training infrastructure like laboratories and equipment will be shared when necessary. Collaborative research on areas of similar interest and joint projects will be undertaken as part of the joint distribution network agreement between BPC and Eskom. 
    Completion of the listed collaboration areas between BPC and Eskom will take the Corporation and the country to greater heights in far as fulfilling the mandate of BPC is concerned let alone improved quality of distribution infrastructure that will ultimately lead to reduction in faults and frequency of distribution infrastructure maintenance.
