My Department administers the farm electrification grant scheme which subsidises the installation of electricity supply to farms located in disadvantaged areas which are without supply or where supply is inadequate to facilitate their development and modernisation. Both single phase and three phase installations are eligible for assistance under the scheme. Apart from that, the question of availability of three phase supply is a matter for the electricity sector players and not one in which I have a function.
