This course focuses on the operation of municipal electricity distribution as both a service and a major revenue stream. Participants learn to manage the reticulation network, reduce technical and non technical losses, and run prepaid and conventional metering systems that protect income. The programme addresses pressing African challenges including meter tampering, illegal connections, bulk purchase debt to the national utility and the impact of load shedding on municipal supply.
