Balance cost-reflective tariffs with national interest Seretse

In a recent interview, Seretse explained that apart from determining tariffs charged by service providers like BPC, BERA also has an ethical responsibility to protect and promote the interests of customers, consumers and other users by ensuring that tariffs are cost reflective, affordable and appropriately priced.

“We must never lose sight of the need to protect the environment and the national interest. However, it must be noted that Botswana’s tariffs remain competitive for countries in the region without hydroelectric power,” Seretse said.
