The Act sets out the function of the Corporation with respect to electricity and water services.

In relation to electricity our functions are:

Executive Statement

When you deliver essential services such as water and electricity within economic and socially diverse
conditions, challenges are part of your everyday reality.

However, the last 12 months has brought some particularly unique challenges and opportunities for
NUC and its customers.

We saw the final year of our 2015-2020 Strategic Plan and the development of our new 5 year Strategic.
and Operational Plan 2021-25, our Business Plan and our Statement of Corporate Intent for 2021 and
beyond.

We saw our safety culture improve through strong focus on regular and timely communications as
well as the establishment of our Health Safety and Security committee; a successful completion of
preparation works for the Solar Development Project; a major refurbishment of our water storage
facilities; and a reduction in duration and frequency of interruptions to customer supply.

NUC’s financial performance for the period reflected a favorable outcome with a positive financial.
result for the year where NUC’s revenue showed that it was able to cover its operating costs including
depreciation. This was achieved without changes to the current tariff structure.

During the extended drought period our water and electricity teams took up the challenge in meeting
the increased demand for water and attending to network interruptions. The resilience and
willingness to roll up our sleeves to get the job done truly embodied the spirit of ‘Makur Dogin Naoero’
working for Nauru.

In a personal highlight, in July 2020 I was appointed to the position of CEO. Having worked in the
industry for over 35 years across my career, I am looking forward to helping the organization realize.
its potential.

We still have some ways to go in becoming a mature, commercially successful and efficient utility.
which embraces renewable energy sources and customer service excellence, and I am confident we
are on the right path and we have the right people on board to realize our vision.
