ZESA is expected to start distributing energy-saver bulbs next month after signing a contract with a South African company to supply over three million bulbs.
The use of energy saver bulbs will result in the power utility saving about 200 megawatts, enough to cater for half of Harare or the whole of Bulawayo or at least four small towns such as Gweru, Kwekwe, Masvingo and Mutare.
Kgabo Engineers is expected to deliver the first consignment of compact fluorescent lamps next month after the State Procurement Board approved the tender.
The energy savers, commonly referred to as CFLs, last longer, at least 8 000 hours while an incandescent light bulb lasts for 1 000 hours.
The initial tender was last year cancelled after Zesa indicated that no bidder had met all the specifications.
Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company managing director Engineer Julian Chinembiri last week said the power utility had already signed the contract with Kgabo Engineers.
He said the total cost was going to be less than the projected US$12 million.
“The bulbs will come in phases but we should be able to have them before the winter peak,” Eng Chinembiri said.
“We have given them an eight-week delivery period.
