THE Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) says its tamperproof prepaid and smart meters have reduced revenue leakages.
The state power utility has over the past lost millions of dollars to meter tampering and illegal connections, which have threatened its viability.
Recently, the company has been on a drive to install prepaid and smart meters across the country.

“For domestic use, the meters we use have security features such that if you open the terminal cover illegally, it will go into tamper mode; it will turn off. If you try to connect heavy loads like geysers to bypass the meter, it will measure whatever load is bypassed,” he said.
