THE Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) says the US$0,02 per kilowatt-hour power (kWh) tariff adjustment it approved this week was part of its pursuit for a cost-reflective tariff in the country.
It comes as the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) has persistently said sub-economic tariffs are nearly entirely to blame for the country’s power shortages.
Following the latest adjustment, which brought the average tariff up to 12,63 US cents per KWh, Zera board chairman David Madzikanda said the country’s power tariff would be “staggered to a level of cost reflectivity”.
