The Electricity Control Board (ECB) has begun the hunt for a substantive Chief Executive Officer following the death of Foibe Namene last year.
Pinehas Mutota, the ECB General Manager: Economic Regulation, has been Acting CEO until the recent appointment of Rachel Boois, the General Manager: Finance & Administration.
To assist with the recruitment process for the top post, the electricity sector regulator has enlisted the services of Visions Consulting.
A job description seen by The Brief, the Chief Executive Officer will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the affairs of the ECB and the provision of sound technical advice to the Board on matters relating to the statutory functions of the ECB (licensing, tariffs, quality of supply, dispute resolution, industry restructuring, etc).
The ECB is mandated to exercise control over the electricity supply industry with the main responsibility of regulating electricity generation, transmission, distribution, supply, import and export in Namibia through setting tariffs and issuance of licenses.
