Windhoek Residents to Participate in National Household Electricity Study

Windhoek Residents to Participate in National Household Electricity Study. The City of Windhoek has notified residents that the Electricity Control Board is carrying out a national household electricity usage study across Namibia. The initiative forms part of a broader effort to gather information related to electricity consumption patterns.

According to the notice, representatives from GSFA will visit selected households in Windhoek between 27 January 2026 and 30 March 2026 as part of the data collection process. The visits are intended to support the study being conducted under the guidance of the Electricity Control Board.

City officials have asked residents who are approached to cooperate with the representatives during this period. The municipality indicated that participation in the study will contribute to improved electricity planning and promote fairness for electricity consumers.

No additional details were provided regarding the specific information that will be collected or how households are being selected. The City emphasized that the exercise is part of a national study rather than a local initiative limited to Windhoek.

The announcement serves as a public advisory to ensure that residents are aware of the upcoming visits and understand their purpose. By informing the community in advance, the City aims to encourage informed participation and reduce uncertainty around the presence of study representatives in residential areas.

The Electricity Control Board is responsible for overseeing aspects of the electricity sector in Namibia, and the study is positioned as a step toward strengthening knowledge about household usage trends. City officials reiterated that the cooperation of residents will play an important role in supporting the objectives of the research.
