Zesa turns to IPPs

POWER utility, Zesa Holdings (Zesa), says private sector participation in power generation would provide the answer to the country’s perennial deficit, as the state entity, which is owed $15 billion by customers, has struggled to meet demand.
Zimbabwe has of late been experiencing serious power shortages which have left businesses with operational losses and higher costs.
Zesa executive chairman, Sydney Gata last week said the country had fallen behind its regional peers in private sector production, despite opening the door to independent power producers (IPPs) in 2003, before its neighbours.
