Annex 2 – Africa’s Electricity Industry
“Almost 71% of the total population does not have access to electricity”.
“Africa has the lowest electrification rates globally. While the world average for
electrification is more than 70%, for Africa it is only 23%.”
“Africa also suffers from poor electricity transmission and distribution networks.
More than 10% of the electricity generated in Africa is wasted. Rural electrification
levels are very low due to dispersed populations, low financial support and high
operating costs.”
In order to address these issues, Africa was divided in the following Power Pools,
whose countries jointly pursue development plans and investments.

In 2012, Ruacana’s capacity will be increased by 92MW. However, the installed
capacity is not enough to meet Namibia’s power demand which leads the country to
import the deficit, mainly from Zimbabwe (Zesa) and South Africa (Eskom). The
remaining is imported from Zambia (Zesco) and Mozambique (EDM). The recently

Zimbabwe and the Eastern members of SAPP, opening alternatives for electricity
imports, thus decreasing Namibia’s dependence on power imports from South Africa,
whose rapid economic growth is boosting power needs and putting export ability at risk.

Annex 21 – The RED’s buying process
Purchasing orders up to N$75k [€6.8k] can be handled by the business units, provided
they are approved by the Manager of Financial Administration, who must document
proofs that effort has been made to guarantee a competitive price and satisfactory
quality (e.g.: by obtaining 3 quotations in writing).
Procurement for supplies with total cost in excess of N$75k [€6.8k] is always done
through the tender system. The Head of the Business Unit procuring the goods (Wires

Business) prepares the tender documentation and sends the application to the Secretary
of the Tender Committee stating the need for the supplies in question. Then the
Secretary of the Tender Committee advertises the tender (stating opening and closing
date, cost of participation, product specifications and delivery requirements, details of
tender collection, etc.).
On the defined date and time, the sealed bids ought to be opened by the Secretary of the
Tender Committee, in the presence of the tender participants attending to the opening
(names of tender participants and prices submitted should be announced), tenders
should be numbered and details registered in a schedule. A copy of the schedule with
details of tender bids and supporting documentation is sent to the Business Unit
requiring the products for evaluation and comparison. The first phase of the assessment
consists of verifying the accuracy of tender prices and ability to meet the technical
specifications and the conditions defined in the tender documents. The second phase
places the remaining tender participants in order of merit, having in consideration:
“efficiency and compatibility of the equipment; operating cost where applicable,
availability of after-sales service and spare parts and financial resources” available to
the tender participant. Subsequently, the Business Unit shall prepare a detailed report
with the assessment and comparison of tenders, mentioning the specific reasons for the
awarding of the contract or refusal of all tenders. The Manager of Financial
Administration should communicate the outcome to the Tender Committee, for its
approval.
The tender should be awarded within the period specified for validity of tender,
followed by the emission of detailed ordering letters or purchase orders signed by the
Manager of Financial Administration.
