The Energy Regulation Board (ERB) has taken Enforcement Action against four (4) licensees for non-compliance with their respective Licence Conditions.
The Enforcement Action is part of the ERB’s mandate to ensure adherence to regulatory standards, safety requirements, reliability, and efficiency in the energy sector.
ERB Manager Public Relations, Namukolo Kasumpa, says the Enforcement Action was instituted against Kawaida Collaborative Limited by way of a reprimand for failure to renew their licence within the period required for renewal.
“Further, Horn Afric Motors Limited – Transporter was reprimanded for failure to submit a comprehensive incident report to the ERB following a road traffic accident,” said Mrs. Kasumpa in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
She also said SGC Investments Limited, Solwezi and Vivo Energy Zambia Limited, Manyama and Chingola Filling Stations have been reprimanded for failure to provide functional compressed air systems at their respective filling stations.
“Provision of ancillary service such as functional compressed air systems is a licence requirement that ensures that the public receives quality service delivery at filling stations,” said Mrs. Kasumpa.
She said these enforcement actions underscore the ERB’s resolve to ensure that all licensed entities comply with their licence conditions and operate within the framework of the Energy Regulation Act.
And Mrs. Kasumpa advised all energy companies to regularly review their compliance status and take necessary remedial actions.
