Envisaged as a dynamic and efficient commercialised electricity distributor for the Erongo Region, the Erongo Regional Electricity Distributor Company (Pty) Ltd, commonly known as Erongo RED, started trading on 1 July 2005, within the context of the Namibian Government’s National Development Plan.
Erongo RED was formed by merging the service of electricity distribution from the various municipalities and town councils in the Erongo region namely: the Municipality of Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Henties Bay and Omaruru; the Town Council of Karibib, Usakos and Arandis; Erongo Regional Council; and NamPower. All these individual institutions are shareholders of Erongo RED.
The core business of Erongo RED is to distribute and supply safe, reliable, sustainable and accessible electricity. Erongo RED received a distribution and supply licence which is valid until 2030. The company also received a generation licence in 2006 for embedded power generation for a 220 kW wind generator near Walvis Bay, this being the first known network-connected wind generator in Namibia.
