NEW: Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority to conduct licence compliance checks

Online Reporter

THE Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) will be conducting licence compliance checks this year to maintain smooth operation of the fuel and LPG retail business.

“We would like to remind all fuel and LPG retail licensees that a licence is valid for each calendar year,” said Zera in a statement.

In the past few years, some retailers have been operating without licences.

“We have observed that in prior years, when conducting compliance checks at the beginning of each year, some sites were found to be operating without a valid licence,’” added Zera.

LPG retailers were also urged to ensure timely renewal of licences to avoid disruption of business that might be caused by the closure of sites.
